With extraordinary access, the film explores the role played by a U.S. based political consultation firm, Greenberg, Carville, and Shrum or GCS, during Bolivia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 2002 presidential election. James Carville became well known after the documentary, &#8220;The War Room,&#8221; about Bill Clinton&#8217;s reelection campaign. He takes his political consulting firm to Bolivia in the service of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, better known as Goni.

However, by crafting campaign slogans, negative ads against rival candidates, and by \u00e2\u20ac\u0153branding crisis,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d GCS helped Sanchez de Lozada prevail by a slim margin on Election Day. Sanchez de Lozada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s would go on to serve as president for 14 months before deadly street protests forced his resignation. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourbrandiscrisis.net\/\">www.ourbrandiscrisis.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourbrandiscrisis.net\/\">Brand is Crisis<\/a> is only showing at the Santa Monica Laemmle 4-Plex on Wednesday 04\/19 and 04\/20. <\/p>\n<p>Laemmle&#8217;s MONICA 4-PLEX<br \/>\n1332 2nd Street<br \/>\nSanta Monica, 90401<br \/>\n310-394-9741 <\/p>\n<p>SHOWTIMES for 04\/19 and 04\/20:<br \/>\nOur Brand Is Crisis (NR, 87 min.)<br \/>\n1:00pm  3:10pm  5:30pm  7:50pm  10:00pm  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sonali\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Subversive Thought for the Day: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Noam Chomsky &#8212; &#8220;The mechanisms of indoctrination that have evolved in the United States are entirely different from those that operate in the totalitarian societies of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.the primary mechanism employed is not direct force, but rather \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the engineering of consent\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which is achieved through the domination of the flow of information and the means for expressing opinion or analysis.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUESTS: Sandra Pena Sarmiento, Bolivian American writer and producer, Marco Rosas, former Director General of Basic Services and Public Works for Bolivia under Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada.
