Kerala: People's Movement

Barbara Chasin and Dick Franke tell David Foote about the State of Kerala in southern India. For a few decades a communist party has been in charge. Health and literacy statistics are excellent for a low-income area. Power has devolved to local governments and assemblies. Food is grown locally and necessities manufactured locally, often by cooperatives. Both existing health clinics and trust in local government has helped Kerala weather the COVID-19 crisis. Recorded June 2, 2020.
