DESCRIPTION:Simón Sedillo is a community rights defense organizer and film maker. He 
 has spent the last 7 years documenting, producing and teaching community 
 based video documentation in Mexico and the US. Through multimedia 
 presentations Sedillo helps show some effects of neoliberalism on 
 indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and communities of color in 
 the US and Mexico. Through collaborative media projects, Sedillo’s work 
 has contributed to a growing network of community based media production 
 whose primary objective is to share, teach, and learn from one another, 
 about community based media production and the collective construction of 
 horizontal networks of community rights defense.\n\nFall 2009 
 Tour\n\n\nWorkshop The Politics of Displacement and Community Self 
 Determination\n\n\nThis workshop identifies several specific institutions, 
 which threaten the lives of average everyday people everywhere. From banks 
 and corporations to non-profits and universities, what role do these 
 institutions have in making the poor stay poor, while making the rich get 
 richer? This workshop also shows how the political devaluation of 
 traditional forms of self governance and self determination, has lead to 
 the degradation of entire sectors of society. Finally this workshop shares 
 some indigenous strategies for community based self determination in 
 guiding struggles for urban community liberation.\n\n\nShort Film: La 
 Familia Raices\n\nShort documentary on the family and Son Jarocho band 
 ¨Los Raices¨ from Oaxaca. The Raices Family play traditional Son Jaracho 
 music in support of the Oaxacan people's social movement. This traditional 
 Afro-indigenous music originates in the state of Veracruz and is also 
 traditionally played in some parts of the state of Oaxaca. This musical 
 tradition is based upon popular education, collective organizing, and long 
 term self determination for its musicians and instrument makers. The Raices 
 family breaks through the difficulties faced by any family, with music, 
 resistance, and determination.\n
