DESCRIPTION:Maquilapolis (City of Factories)\nDocumenting the struggle of women workers 
 in Tijuana.\n\n“Many consider the U.S.-Mexico border to be ‘the 
 laboratory of the future.’ In Maquilapolis the border is also the site 
 where global capitalism is facing profound resistance. The maquiladora 
 workers are neither helpless victims nor dupes of neo-liberal capitalism, 
 but rather social actors in the full sense of the word”—Rosa-Linda 
 Fregoso, UCSC\n\nCarmen Durán works the graveyard shift at one of 
 Tijuana’s 800 maquiladoras; she is one of millions of women around the 
 world who labor for poverty level wages in the factories of transnational 
 corporations. When the plant where Carmen worked for six years moved to 
 Indonesia, they try to avoid paying the legally mandated severance pay to 
 which they were entitled by law. Carmen becomes a promotora, a grassroots 
 activist, challenging the usual illegal tactics of the powerful 
 transnationals.\n\nThe filmmakers gave several women workers in Tijuana 
 video cameras to make a record of their struggles, giving the film the 
 intimate feel of video diaries. 68min., 2006\n\n$6 admission for each 
 screening\nLight refreshments. Wheelchair accessible.\n
