Documentary on Honduras resistance -- where to screen it?

by Johannes Wilm (j [at] indymedia.no)
My documentary on students in resistance against coup in Honduras is available online and I'm still looking for more places in the US to show it. Please contact me if you have suggestions.

This documentary "The young Honduran revolution" was made by me, Johannes Wilm, German-Danish activist. While working for the revolutionary Nicaraguan government I snuck across the border to Honduras in early August to document the resistance movement in the neighboring Central American republic, after a military coup had overthrown Leftist president Manuel Zelaya on June 28th.

By coincidence I document how for the first time in nearly thirty years the majority of students rise up against the police in a battle of 3000 students fighting police on the campus of the Autonomous University of Honduras in Tegucigalpa on August 5th.

The documentary shows where the student leaders come from, what their analysis of the current situation is, what plans they have for changing it, and what perspective for the future they see both for them personally and for the country at large. It is 90 minutes long and it is made in Spanish with English subtitles.

It is available to be seen online here:

It also has a Facebook-page here:

It has so far been shown in various cities in the south west and in 12 countries in Latin America. It has been featured by a number of Latin American magazines and in the US by the Monthly Review and the Upside Down World site. It will be shown in Los Angeles at the "Human Rights Film Festival" on the 23rd of October and in San Diego at the City Heights Free Skool on the 24th, then in Hermosillo, Sonora where it will be shown to journalist students of Kino University on the 27th and to other students at the University of Sonora on the 29th. In Arizona where it will be shown amongst other places at the U of A on the 9th of November and at ASU in Phoenix on the 4th. At UC Berkley the SDS will present it at the end of November.
