We will be projecting True to My Pledge, a new film by Mal de Ojo TV.

"Compromiso Cumplido" (True to My Pledge) is the first of a two-part documentary about the human rights violations during the current conflict in Oaxaca. The film documents some of the horrors committed against the civil society of Oaxaca, and shows the strategy of state terrorism employed by the local governor. Numerous deaths have been reported, and yet there have been no criminal accusations or investigations for these murders.

Mal de Ojo TV surfaced in Oaxaca City after June 14, 2006 as a coalition of independent, indigenous and community media workers, including Indymedia Oaxaca and Ojo de Agua Comunicación, dedicated to covering the rising social movement and its repression in Oaxaca. The organization has been targeted by the Oaxacan police. Mal de Ojo TV has been a vital source of coverage for most of the major events involving police repression in the city, but they have also been covering the building of a popular movement, documenting assemblies, peaceful marches, press conferences and proclamations.
