 the Film:  "Our Struggle to Live, Building People's Alternatives" (Nuestra 
 Lucha Por Vivir, Construyendo Alternativas Para los Pueblos ) presents the 
 struggle of indigenous communities in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, 
 to survive in the face of economic and cultural marginalization heightened 
 by the current global economy.    The film profiles five alternative 
 economic projects initiated within these communities: a group of fish 
 farmers working to better their sustainability and farming practices; a 
 women's textile cooperative; a cooperative formed to make and sell totopo, 
 the local equivalent of tortillas; a group organizing to sustainably farm 
 ixtle, a plant that produces fibers for making ropes and cords; and a 
 women's cattle breeding and dairy collective.     Members of these 
 collectives speak to the difficulties they face due to the forces of 
 neoliberal globalization, which lead many people from the region to migrate 
 to the United States seeking work. The alternative economic programs they 
 are developing, as well as other projects to revive and maintain indigenous 
 culture and traditions, are tools in their struggle to survive as 
 communities and to create a sustainable relationship with the land.     The 
 testimonies and images make the case that another world and a different 
 future are, indeed, possible.    The film was produced by the Union of 
 Indigenous Communities in the Northern Zone of the Isthmus (UCIZONI), and 
 directed, filmed and edited by Violeta Chávez Regalado and Bertha 
 Rodríguez Santos. \n
