DESCRIPTION:Monday, 11/19 \nDeadly Embrace: Nicaragua, the World Bank, and the 
 International Monetary Fund\nThe war in Nicaragua is not over - it has just 
 become more invisible.  This film, made in 1996,  traces the history of 
 U.S. involvement in the region, focusing on the current economic attack of 
 the IMF, the World Bank and U.S. agencies.  After five years of IMF and 
 World Bank programs, Nicaragua had experienced the worst economic collapse 
 in its history and has been reduced to one of the poorest countries in the 
 world.  The devastation that Nicaragua experienced, although extreme, is 
 not unique; according to UNICEF, six million children die each year due to 
 IMF and World Bank policies.\nThe film is a truly remarkable piece of  
 popular education, effectively humanizing critical economic issues.\n30 
 minutes.  1995.  Video.\n\nZapatista\nJanuary 1, 1994: A few minutes after 
 midnight in Southeastern Mexico and t the North American free Trade 
 Agreement (NAFTA) has just become law.  during the Night, a small band of 
 Indian rebels rises up in the state of Chiapas demanding local autonomy.  
 They call themselves the Zapatista National Liberation Army  
 (EZLN).\nSummer 1996:  Three Students from the U.S. and Europe hear 
 something so new and powerful in the Zapatista' message that they realize 
 they must go to Chiapas.  armed only with credit cards and two 
 state-of-the-art digital video cameras they make their way deep into the 
 Lacondon jungle to join and document the ongoing rebellion.  \nCombining 
 the raw intensity of the footage from the front lines with commentary from 
 international humanitarians, this film is an excellent introduction to the 
 ongoing uprising.  It is the story of how a few thousand Mayan peasants 
 have transformed the political culture of Mexico forever.\n54 minutes. 
 1996.  Video.\n\nNew College Cultural Center, 766 Valencia Street.\n8:00 
 pm.  A $3-5 donation is requested.\n\n
