DESCRIPTION:"The Landless" ("Los Sin Tierra"): Part homage to the “world’s most 
 successful people’s movement” and part condemnation of the social 
 conditions that gave rise to it, Miguel Barrios’s film traces the rise of 
 Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement (MST), whose strategy is to peacefully 
 and legally take over and set up encampments on unproductive land, which is 
 then redistributed among the occupying families.  The battle has been 
 hard-fought, as many landowners have organized themselves into paramilitary 
 groups. Over 1600 workers have been killed in the last 15 years.  "The 
 Landless", produced by Pedro Almodóvar, shows history being made by the 
 most impoverished residents of a country that has the highest rate of 
 economic inequality in the world.  75 minutes, 2003.  Charlotte Casey of 
 Friends of the MST will speak and lead an open discussion after the film.  
 $5 - $10 suggested donation.  Sponsored by Peninsula Peace and Justice 
 Center, World Centric, and Peace Umbrella of Unitarian Universalist Church 
 of Palo Alto.  For more information:  http://www.peaceandjustice.org //
