El Enemigo Común
(the Common Enemy)

Austin Indymedia's New Documentary on Capitalism, Empire and Oaxacan Campesinos

Thursday February 16th
7:00pm Music / 8:00pm Film
Resource Center for Nonviolence
515 Broadway near Ocean, Santa Cruz

Ryan Harvey and Mark Gunnery of Riot-Folk! Records (riotfolk.org) will open with hard-hitting anarchist folk music before the film screening.

Simon Sedillo, the director of El Enemigo Común, will be in attendence.

El Enemigo Común (The Common Enemy) scratches beneath the surface of neoliberalism, and looks at some of the 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, and includes footage of protests in Cancun against the World Trade Organization, and in Miami against the Free Trade Area of the America's. The three locations in isolation expose the disparities in North American resistance movements, but also bring us closer to understanding the nature of an emerging common struggle.

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 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.
