DESCRIPTION:ANSWER Film Series  Los Sin Tierra: Por los Caminos de America  (The 
 Landless: The Roads to America)  $5 donation   With a report by a 
 representative of Friends of MST (Landless Workers’ Movement of Brazil)  
 In the mid-'70s, a growing number of Brazilian farm workers found 
 themselves forced off of the land they had worked for years, with few 
 career options available to them. Many found themselves stranded in urban 
 shantytowns after they were unable to find work and out of this came 
 Brazil's "Landless Movement."       The idea behind the movement was to 
 stake legal claim to unused land and allow settlers to move in; those who 
 stayed on and worked the land would in time divide up legal claim to it, 
 which would give the economically deprived a place to live and a means of 
 supporting themselves. However, in Brazil—a nation where one percent of 
 the population owns half of the available land—this notion proved 
 unpopular with wealthy landowners, who not only offered political 
 resistance to the Landless Movement, but in some cases raised private 
 armies to drive the newcomers off the land by force.       Los Sin Tierra: 
 Por los Caminos de America is an activist documentary that charts the 
 difficult history and eventual successes of the Landless Movement.   2004, 
 72 min. Spanish w/ English subtitles.  \n
