DESCRIPTION:In this documentary, Bill Moyers reports on Chapter 11 of the North 
 American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which multinational corporations are 
 using to challenge democracy.  Chapter 11 is only one provision in the 
 555-page NAFTA – negotiated to promote business among the U.S., Canada 
 and Mexico and supposedly written to protect investors if foreign 
 governments tried to seize their property.  But corporations have stretched 
 NAFTA’s Chapter 11 to undermine environmental decisions, sue local 
 governments, and overturn decisions of local communities in cases that are 
 heard before international trade tribunals who make rulings in secret.  The 
 film will be followed by an open discussion led by Jesse Swanhuyser, 
 Director of the California Coalition for Fair Trade and Human Rights.  $5 - 
 $10 suggested donation; sponsored by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, 
 World Centric, and Peace Umbrella of Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo 
 Alto.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/02/08/57493.php
