\n \n“A Problem of Power” is a 45 minute documentary produced and dire
cted by Sumner Jules Glimcher on poverty in South America. Sponsored by th
e National Council of Churches, it explores the daily lives of the people
of Colombia where socio-economic conditions in many ways are representativ
e of all of Latin America. Candid interviews with people at all levels of
Colombian society provide insights into their true feelings about the prob
lems that affect their lives. Listening to the voices of the people who su
bsist under the heels of the oligarchy raises the question of how much the
poor can endure before rising to claim their rights.\n \nIn the film, a l
ong-time missionary to the area discusses the effects of North American po
licies--governmental, financial and religious--on the population. The weal
thy owner of a larger estate speaks kindly but patronizingly of the peasan
ts who work his land while large German shepherd police guard dogs hover i
n the background. The peasants themselves describe their pathetic attempts
to support themselves and their families on totally inadequate incomes. T
hey tell of non-existent funds that are supposed to reach them through US
AID and how they cannot afford the simplest medical care. A rebel Roman Ca
tholic priest who lives and works amongst the poorest of the poor talks ab
out how the official Catholic hierarchy exploits the peasants whose hard-e
arned pesos pay for bishops who live princely lives. A university student
risks jail and torture by talking about how powerless the student and peas
ant population are in creating change. Two television executives--one a me
mber of the rich power elite, the other working for the public television
interests--clash over what the lack of original programming versus the imp
ortation of commercial television programs from North America does to keep
the local population intellectually impoverished. The residents of the ba
rrios voice their frustrations to our cameras. Interviews were recorded in
Spanish and English with the Spanish later translated into English as in
the simultaneous translations used in the United Nations.\n \nSumner Jules
Glimcher has spent a lifetime creating educational programs, documentarie
s and video portraits. He is professor emeritus from New York University w
here he previously was the Director of the Department of Film, Video and B
roadcasting at NYU’s School of Continuing Education. There he created on

In the film, a long-time missionary t
o the area discusses the effects of North American policies--governmental,
financial and religious--on the population. The wealthy owner of a larger
estate speaks kindly but patronizingly of the peasants who work his land
while large German shepherd police guard dogs hover in the background. The
peasants themselves describe their pathetic attempts to support themselve
s and their families on totally inadequate incomes. They tell of non-exist
ent funds that are supposed to reach them through US AID and how they cann
ot afford the simplest medical care. A rebel Roman Catholic priest who liv
es and works amongst the poorest of the poor talks about how the official
Catholic hierarchy exploits the peasants whose hard-earned pesos pay for b
ishops who live princely lives. A university student risks jail and tortur
e by talking about how powerless the student and peasant population are in
creating change. Two television executives--one a member of the rich powe
r elite, the other working for the public television interests--clash over
what the lack of original programming versus the importation of commercia
l television programs from North America does to keep the local population
intellectually impoverished. The residents of the barrios voice their fru
strations to our cameras. Interviews were recorded in Spanish and English
with the Spanish later translated into English as in the simultaneous tran
slations used in the United Nations. \;
