From a remote mountain village in Bolivia to an industrial town in Nova
Scotia, this film follows the remarkable story of Juan Tellez, a revolutionary
activist in community development. In a turnaround role, Canadian communities
are benefitting from a development expert who started as a seminary
student working in some of the poorest communities in Latin America. Juan's
work in community-based economic development (CED) favours local benefit
over globalization. The film explores the stories about an approach to development
that can be the salvation of communities in the industrialized countries as
well as those in developing nations.
