DESCRIPTION:El Enemigo Común    produced by  Austin Indymedia    Bay Area Premieres  
 with filmmaker  Simon Sedillo  $3 Donation  NO ONE TURNED AWAY  San 
 Francisco  Wed. Mar. 1st  @ 7 pm @  La Peña Cultural Center  3105 Shattuck 
 Ave.  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.  WATCH TRAILER:
