DESCRIPTION:El Enemigo Común    produced by  Austin Indymedia    Bay Area Premieres

 Austin Indymedia (ATXIMC) has been traveling back and forth to communities 
 of unarmed indigenous people in Oaxaca, Mexico for the last 5 years (on and 
 off), and in that time ATXIMC has contributed to release of 21 political 
 prisoners, and helped spearhead three Amnesty International Campaigns. The 
 most recent Amnesty Campaign has resulted in 39 community members being 
 able to return home after being displaced by a paramilitary attack.    "el 
 enemigo común" scratches beneath the surface of neoliberalism, at some of 
 the its most hidden atrocities in recent North American history. The film 
 documents instances of paramilitary activity against indigenous communities 
 in Oaxaca, Mexico from 2002 through 2005 while including scenes from an 
 international human rights movement in 2003, in Miami against the Free 
 Trade Area of the America's, and in Cancun against the World Trade 
 Organization. The three locations in isolation expose the disparity of 
 North American resistances, but together bring us closer to understanding 
 the nature of an emerging common struggle.  Tear gas, rubber bullets, and 
 direct actions set behind the compelling faces and voices of survivors of 
 incomprehensible atrocities expose the extremes of these relevant acts of 
 modern political repression. The film challenges what we already know about 
 paramilitary activity in Mexico, US involvement in said activity, and the 
 current face of resistance against human indignity and injustice in North 
 America Today.  Bouncing back and forth from community to community, "el 
 enemigo común" is both an introduction to some of the many ignored 
 resistances in North America, and it is also an urgent call to action for 
 international civil society, to stand in solidarity against state sponsored 
 repression and for human peace, dignity and justice, in Oaxaca, Mexico. The 
 film provides a historical context for the current violent incarnation of 
 capitalism and empire, and provokes action against it as a common enemy.
