PIP-PIP-PIP PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP- FOOTAGE ¿Dónde estan las monedas? (where are the MONEDAS?)

(Voice Over of Jackie while shots of retiro station, people walking, taking monedas):

Over the last two years the search for monedas has become an adrventure on the

big city of Buenos aires. Almost all public transport in argentina need monedas,

not only this but also daily and esential tasks, like parking in public places, or

using public telephones . Everyday in retiro station in Argentina a long line of

people form up to get monedas.

Entrevista Viejo (interview an old man):

What influence did it have in your life?

Ermm really it complicates everyone who use public transport, I believe that Buenos Aires I a city that should have a facility to provide coins like it happens in every other part of the world

When did it start affecting you?

I have son’s that work all day and they travel in public transport, therefore once or twice a week I make 40 or 50 minutes line to get 20 pesos in change to provide them, because they can’t get off work.

Do you think this is going to improve in the future?

I am quite sceptic about things improving in argentina, I’ve lost pretty much the trust in the capacity of our government to change things and make a difference

Entrevista vieja (interview an old woman):

When did it start affecting you?

The problem started a long time ago, approximately one year or more.

Do you think this is going to improve in the future?

I don´t know I think that at this stage the government should have solve it already.
