DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video 
 Festival\nASOTRECOL, The Struggle Against Transnationals in 
 Colombia\nProducer  (55 min.) 2013, Colombia\nASOTRECOL=Association of 
 Injured Workers and Ex-workers of General Motors Colmotores\n With tactics 
 ranging from hunger strikes with lips stitched shut to a nearly 1,000-day 
 sit-in at the U.S. Embassy, Colombian workers are putting the world’s 
 attention on General Motors’ treatment of its workers. This film tells 
 the incredible story of an Association of Injured Workers who have taken on 
 one of the most powerful corporations in the world, and have won victories 
 they never thought were possible. The Obama administration pushed the US 
 Colombian trade agreement with the argument that it would protect the 
 workers of Colombia from assassinations and repression because of labor 
 protections. Since the agreement was passed by the Congress and signed by 
 President Obama, the repression continues and US corporations like GM and 
 Coca-Cola continue to injure and terrorize Colombian workers.\n Injured 
 workers from Asotrecol have also come to the United States to the 
 headquarters of General Motors to demand justice and have not received 
 justice. The UAW which owned shares in General Motors, has also been silent 
 about the treatment of the Colombian GM workers and the struggle continues. 
 \n Discussion will follow the film.\nSee also:
