 sliding scale  (no one turned away for lack of funds)  Station 40  3030 B 
 16th Street @ Mission    In November, 2003, trade ministers from 34   
 countries met in Miami, Florida, to negotiate the   Free Trade Area of the 
 Americas (FTAA). The   FTAA threatens to devastate workers, the   
 environment, and public services like health care,   education, and water, 
 and to destroy indigenous   rights and cultural diversity across North, 
 Central,   and South America.  Thousands of union members, 
 environmentalists,   feminists, anarchists, students, farm workers,   media 
 activists, and human rights activists who   gathered in Miami to struggle 
 against the FTAA   were brutally attacked with rubber bullets, pepper   
 spray, electric guns and shock batons, embedded   reporters and information 
 warfare, all coordinated   by the new United States Department of   
 Homeland Security.   Collectively, Indymedia activists and friends shot   
 hundreds of hours of video footage documenting   the FTAA protests in 
 Miami. This footage is being   edited by the FTAA Miami Video Working Group 
   into a documentary that will cut through the mass   media blackout to 
 reveal the brutal repression and   assault on civil liberties that took 
 place, as well as   the life-affirming and inspiring alternatives to   
 capitalist globalization that were also in full effect   in Miami.
