ss das Potenzial des Fernsehens zur Förderung und Beschleunigung der ländlichen Entwicklung in den am wenigsten entwickelten Ländern wahrscheinlich geringer ist als allgemein angenommen. Der Import komplexer und teurer westlicher Fernsehtechnik scheint daher keine erfolgversprechende Strategie zur Lösung der Kommunikationsprobleme der am wenigsten entwickelten Länder zu sein. Das sudanesische Beispiel zeigt außerdem, dass die verfrühte Einführung und Verbreitung des Fernsehens eine Reihe negativer Folgen haben kann, da sie knappe Ressourcen aus anderen Bereichen wie der Presse und dem Bildungssystem abzieht und zu einer wachsenden technischen und finanziellen Abhängigkeit von ausländischen Geberinstitutionen und dem Weltmarkt für Fernsehhard- und -software führen kann.“ (Zusammenfassung, Seite 216)

"Este libro tiene tres niveles, el más importante es el análisis y la interpretación de lo que significa desde el punto de vista de su sentido y de sus contenidos el cine boliviano contemporáneo, el otro tiene que ver con la visión histórica del periodo 1952-1985. En ambos el autor ha buscado

dar un panorama completo de lo que ha sido esta etapa, sin duda la más rica de la cinematografía nacional. Para lograrlo ha partido de la premisa de que tres realizadores, Ruiz, Sanjinés y Eguino y un guionista, Soria, son los ejes sobre los que se ha movido nuestro cine en esos treinta y tres años. Son ellos además quienes desde Bolivia han hecho los mayores aportes al cine latinoamericano y universal. Pero la obra no se limita a estas figuras, dedica importantes capítulos a quienes hicieron y hacen aportes sustanciales al cine que hoy tenemos y a quienes han trabajado para hacer más sólida nuestra cultura cinematográfica y han permitido algo esencial, la conservación del patrimonio fílmico nacional para las generaciones del futuro. El tercer nivel, indispensable como referencia y de gran utilidad para cualquier investigador, crítico o simplemente cinéfilo, está dedicado a una filmografía exhaustiva del periodo 1952-1985, una bio-filmografía de 33 realizadores bolivianos, el detalle completo de los premios internacionales y nacionales obtenidos por este cine y una cronología año por año desde 1952 de los hechos históricos, el cine y las otras artes desarrolladas en el país en estas tres décadas."
