presents this is what free trade looks like the NAFTA fraud in méxico, the failure of the WTO, and the case for global revolt 70 minutes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- west coast premiere Sunday June 6 7 pm in the Theater of the New College of California 777 Valencia Street, San Francisco free The film will be followed by discussion with David Bacon, author of The Children of NAFTA: Labor Wars on the US/Mexico Border (2004: UC Press, Berkeley). This is one of the first activist films to carefully explain how free trade operates. It does so from the perspective of the Mexican experience with ten years of NAFTA. Activists and scholars authoritatively condemn free trade as a solution to poverty and discuss the impacts on farmers, workers, youth, and immigrants. Shot in Cancún, México on the occasion of the 5th WTO ministerial in September 2003, it contextualizes the growing international resistance to free trade policies. Music from the streets of Cancún. co-sponsored by New College Media Studies MA Program http://www.newcollege.edu/media_studies -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- activist media project.los angeles http://www.uproot.info/amp.la camera: jay finneburgh, doug johnson, brian jones, sabin portillo, cancún imc editing: brian jones written & directed by: amory starr executive producer: sabin portillo |
