So... La Rinconada is NOT an example of Voluntaryism but of failed "government!" The city is under the Peruvian "government" and there is no option to set up competing systems of law and law enforcement. The fact the "government" is doing such a poor job makes my point! Finally, the film makers seem to be exaggerating the danger for views... they saw a street fight and, allegedly, had a water bottle stolen. There are 50,000+ other people that are living there in what appears to be overwhelming peace....

What is this streaming platform where the conference videos are hosted?

Never heard of Civl before. Looks very interesting.

I see it is funded by the "Foundation for Harmony & Prosperity" of Chris J. Rufer. Never heard of them till now either.

It is a free streaming platform that specifically promotes libertarian and voluntaryist content as well as cool movies that anyone would enjoy but might get overlooked or not promoted by something like Netflix or Disney that seem to go out of their way to publish smut and cultural degradation. It is good for us in that CiVL is making the conference available on Roku, Fire and their app so folks can easily get it on their television. The Foundation for Harmony and Prosperity is a private foundation that supports projects like ours that advance the philosophy of human respect and REAL freedom. Chris Rufer is an entrepreneur who got the cost out of processing tomatoes by designing innovative factories (and an unbelievable work ethic). He is the epitome of the American dream and supports a variety of freedom-oriented non-profits like CiVL.
