DESCRIPTION:screening of films produced by Mal de Ojo\nfollowed by discussion with 
 collective of filmmakers from Oaxaca \n\nShowtimes are at 7:00 p.m. and 9 
 p.m on March 5 and 6\n\nRoxie New College Film Center is pleased to present 
 short documentaries from the Oaxaca Commune, produced by Mal de Ojo TV. A 
 highly-contested presidential election and a Zapatista-led campaign to 
 unite the anti-capitalist Left made 2006 a tumultuous year in Mexico. In 
 the southern state of Oaxaca, a broad-based citizens’ movement to unseat 
 an unpopular and corrupt governor turned into a grassroots uprising for 
 direct democracy. For months, residents of Oaxaca City maintained more than 
 1,000 street barricades, sprawling protest encampments, occupations of 
 government buildings and takeovers of broadcast media outlets. Mexico's 
 federal government later sent in thousands of militarized police to crack 
 down on the popular uprising and prop up the regime of the despised state 
 governor. Witnessing all of these events unfold was a lively independent 
 media movement. This series of short documentaries produced by Mal de Ojo 
 TV provides a glimpse into life during one of the most vibrant movements in 
 contemporary Latin America. Mal de Ojo TV collective members and Free 
 Speech Radio News Oaxaca correspondent will be at the screenings for a Q &A 
 session between the presentations. Showtimes are at 7:00 p.m. and 9 p.m. 
 People coming to the 9:00 p.m. showing are encouraged to arrive early for 
 the Q&A session after the earlier showing.\n\n\n
