 ===========================================  "Love, Women, and Flowers" 
 (Amor, mujeres y flores)  A film by Marta Rodriguez and Jorge Silva, 1988 
 (58 minutes) Columbia  Flowers are Colombia's third largest export. Behind 
 the beauty of carnations sold in the U.S. is a horror story of hazardous 
 working conditions for 60,000 women who labor in the flower industry. The 
 use of pesticides and fungicides, some of which are banned in the developed 
 countries which manufacture them, has drastic health and environmental 
 consequences. This beautiful and powerful documentary is the final 
 collaborative effort of Marta Rodriguez and her husband Jorge Silva. The 
 filmmakers evoke the testimonies of the women workers, and document their 
 efforts to organize, with urgency and intimacy. (Spanish with English 
 subtitles)  ===========================================  "Open the Road to 
 the Women Fighters" (Paso a las luchadoras)  A film by the Ojo Obrero 
 Collective, 2004 (33 minutes) Argentina  Thousands of women in Argentina 
 have taken up the struggle for liberation by their own hand. This film 
 focuses on seven women and their day-to-day struggle against sexism in all 
 aspects of their lives. These women see their oppression as created by the 
 capitalist social system -- in the lack of jobs, in the double burden of 
 exploitation that working women face, in domestic and institutional 
 violence, and in the lack of freedom to govern one's own body. (Abortion 
 remains illegal in Argentina.) These women look to the creation of an 
 independent assembly of the working class as the way forward in the fight 
 for working women's power. (Spanish with English subtitles)  
 ===========================================  LaborFest 2004 is a month of 
 film, music, poetry, theater, talks, tours, and other events celebrating 
 labor, our history and future. Held every July since 1994, LaborFest 
 commemorates San Francisco's 1934 General Strike. For a complete schedule,
