Inside The Americas - Venezuela's Tower of David-part II

In-depth reports and analysis from our extensive network of correspondents throughout the region on the most important developments in Latin America. In today's program: Venezuela's Tower of David - Part II, a report by Rachael Boothroyd. Seven years after the Tower of David skyscraper, which looms over the Caracas skyline, was taken over by homeless families, 50 of its inhabitants have been relocated into new housing projects and a vigorous debate is now underway on what to do with the building. Proposals raised, in the context of Venezuela's ongoing revolution and attempts to promote grass-roots participation, include converting it into a university campus or cultural center. The relocated families, meanwhile, are continuing their tradition of self-organization in their new community through the country's new form of communal government.
