DISPATCHES FROM REBEL MEXICO!

FILMS, LECTURE & WORKSHOP, and a chance to TALK TO MEXICAN ACTIVSTS OVER SATELLITE!

Internationally acclaimed filmaker Greg Berger will be screening his short films:
Tierra Si! Aviones No! ("Land Yes! Planes No!")
Atenco: The Machete Rebellion
Tlalnepantla: The Price of Democracy
Gringo-thon
Aborto Sin Pena ("Abortion Without Shame")

Then a workshop entitled ARMED NONVIOLENCE IN MEXICO:

After the 1994 Zapatista uprising, hundreds of thousands of people marched in Mexico City to express two positions simultaneously: that they supported the Zapatistas but that they also were against violence. The Zapatistas haven't fired a shot since that time, but also maintain their weapons and military training. What does this mean in the context of Mexican history and what are the implications for democracy in Mexico?

Then we are calling an "international town meeting" during which activists in Mexico are called via satellite telephone to answer audience members questions about the films.
