DESCRIPTION:Dispatches From Rebel Mexico  Saturday, July 24th  7pm   FREE  AK Press  
 674-A 23rd St  Oakland, CA 94612  Come join us for an evening of radical 
 films from  Mexico! A fundraiser to benefit the production of a  new 
 documentary about the construction of rebel civil  instiutions - and a new 
 basketball league - in  Zapatista communities in Chiapas.  On saturday, 
 July 24, U.S. born, Mexico based  filmmaker Greg Berger will present 
 excerpts from his  ongoing interactive video tour, "Dispatches From Rebel  
 Mexico."  Films excerpted will include: "Tlalnepantla:  The Price of 
 Democracy" about the attempt of an  indigenous town in Morelos state to 
 declare itself  autonomous, and the tragedy of subsequent police  
 repression; "Atenco: The Machete Rebellion" which  chronicles the 
 successful struggle of a farming town  adjacent to Mexico City against a 
 proposed airport  which would have confiscated communal land established  
 as a result of the Mexican revolution; and  "Gringothon," a humorous short 
 film about a lone  gringo's attempt to raise money in the streets of  
 Mexico City to support a guerrilla insurgency in the  United States.  All 
 proceeds from the event will benefit the  production of Greg's new 
 documentary on basketball in  the highlands of Zapatista Chiapas.  In 
 recent years,  civilian supporters of the Zapatista movement have  begun 
 building their autonomy through the construction  of indpendent, indigenous 
 controlled, civil  institutions.  One of these institutions is the  
 Autonomous Rebel Zapatista High School, whose  "education promotors" 
 (teachers-in-training) have  formed a highly successful basketball league.  
 A new  documentary will follow the basketball league and  explore this new 
 phase of the Zapatista's evolution,  during which rebel indigenous 
 communities have begun  the arduous task of creating local, concrete,  
 alternatives to the global neoliberal order.  This new  documentary will 
 also make the story of the Zapatista  struggle accesible to a whole new 
 audience: the  world's millions of basketball fans.\n
