From the silver mines of Potosí to the lithium fields of the Altiplano, Bolivia has never stopped fighting against colonial exploitation. This episode recounts the centuries of Bolivian Resistance, from Tupac Katari's defiant cry "I will return as millions"to the indigenous movements that shook a nation.

Join Triploi as we look at the events that shaped modern Bolivia, and how and why, this diverse nation is leading the charge on decolonisation.
