DESCRIPTION:"EYE ON MEXICO": JOHN ROSS CELEBRATES THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION - A BENEFIT TO 
 BUY THE AUTHOR A NEW EYE AT NEW COLLEGE FRIDAY NOV, 16th\n\n"Eye on Mexico" 
 - John Ross celebrates the Mexican Revolution  - will light up the New 
 College Theater at 777 Valencia Street in San Francisco's Mission District, 
 Friday November 16th from 7 to 9 PM.  Donations accepted. \n\nThe 
 multi-media montage is a benefit to buy the 
 author-correspondent-poet-activist-human shield and globetrotting 
 troublemaker a new eye.  Ross's eye was severely damaged by a San Francisco 
 police beating and it was removed on 9/11/07 but he cannot afford a fake 
 one. \n\n"Eye on Mexico" will focus on the Mexican revolution whose 97th 
 birthday is November 20th and asks the pertinent question: is the 
 revolution still alive?  Ross has been an assiduous chronicler of 
 revolutionary movements in Mexico for over 40 years and his written four 
 books on the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. \n\nIn addition to a 
 talk by John Ross, "Eye on Mexico", a section of a never-released film by 
 the great Russian director Sergei Eisenstein set in post-revolutionary 
 Mexico, will be shown on the big screen. The film, sometimes known as "Viva 
 Mexico", was financed by California writer Upton Sinclair who pulled the 
 plug when Eisenstein ran far over budget. \n\nJohn Ross is a poet, author, 
 and San Francisco Bay Guardian correspondent with eight books in and out of 
 print including his most recent opus "Zapatistas - Making Another World 
 Possible" and "Murdered by Capitalism - 150 Years of Life & Death on the 
 American Left" which won the American Civil Liberties Union "Uppie" (for 
 Upton Sinclair) award in 2004.  John Ross is also a performing poet with 
 nine highly subversive chapbooks to his credit ("Bomba!" is the most 
 recent) and is bound to declaim a few select poems for the occasion. 
 \n\nJohn Ross is a sometimes New College Media Studies Graduate Program 
 lecturer in rebel journalism.  Buy an eye for this guy! Support Rebel 
 Journalism!\n \nDonations gratefully accepted.\n \nSponsored by New College 
 Media Studies MA Program. For more information about the event:
