Latin Pulse: 12.12.2013

Peace and the growing power of women in Latin America provide the twin themes this week on Latin Pulse.  The presidential elections in Chile which have two women vying for the presidency provide the backdrop for a discussion of how women have moved into the key positions of power in the region.  The program also gives an update on progress in the peace talks meant to settle the civil war in Colombia, a war that has gone on for almost 50 years.  The news segment of the program covers the police strike and resulting violence in Argentina.

The program includes interviews with:

Macarena Saez of American University; and 
Gimena Sanchez of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA).

Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell; and
Associate Producer: Megan Ekhaml.

Latin Pulse: 8.02.2013

Uruguay electrified the global debate concerning the Drug War this week, as its Chamber of Deputies approved a law that would make the country the first in the world to completely legalize the use and distribution of the drug.  This week, Latin Pulse concentrates on the progressive trends in Uruguay.  Beyond liberalizing marijuana laws, the discussion also covers the debates over abortion and same-sex marriage in Uruguay.  This program also concludes the three-part series of discussions with Uruguay's human rights ombudsman.

The program includes in-depth interviews with:

Gabriela Santini of Uruguay's Teledoce; and
Juan Raul Ferreira, the Human Rights Ombudsman of Uruguay.

Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell
Production Assistant: Alexia Campbell
