DESCRIPTION:We will be showcasing:\n\n- " And if Iron Stand In Our Way " (6 min.) - A 
 brief look at women across generations who have been involved in the 
 crossing of people across the barriers of the U.S./Mexico border.  It seeks 
 to demystify some of the various myths that surround Coyotes.  This short 
 is a work in progress and will eventually be a feature documentary.\n  \n - 
 "The Homies" (9 min.) - A funny attempt at bringing up issues of youth,

 min.) -  This documentary short questions the authenticity of mainstream 
 hip-hop by taking a look at what is being spewed by MTV vs. the hip-hop of 
 The Coup & Prophets of Rage.  The Coup is an Oakland-based hip-hop group 
 featuring Boots & DJ Pam the Funktress, both who have a long history of 
 community organizing against police brutality in Oakland.  Prophets of Rage

 awareness of the military presence and destruction of the community of 
 Vieques, Puerto Rico.   \n\nThe top four films were done by The Reel 
 Guerrillaz Kollective -  A progressive multi-media collective that focuses 
 on critical thought and bringing light to the many social issues and 
 injustices that are faced by subaltern communities everywhere around the
