Shot at the height of a heated battle between the heavily-armed Guatemalan Military and a nearly defenseless Mayan population, filmmakers Pamela Yates and Newton Thomas Sigel threw themselves into the center of a storm to capture live combat footage with a surprisingly robust passion and exhilarating flair. As the first film to depict this previously unreported war, it is firmly anchored by the firsthand accounts of Rigoberta Menchú, a Quiché Indian woman known around the world for her humanitarian efforts. Throughout the imminent chaos and danger, Menchú provides courage and optimism in a time where death squads kill without conscience and an oppressive dictator seizes power.

1. 30 minutes: I will be speaking about our organization Dooda (NO) Desert Rock
Dooda Desert Rock (“NO” Desert Rock) Organization is a group of indigenous residents
dedicated to stopping the ill-conceived Desert Rock plant proposed by the Sithe
Global LLC corporation, Desert Rock Energy Co, LLC and the Dine Power Authority. We
believe economic development must not come at the expense of the health of our
children, the air we breathe, our sacred land and water, and our way of life. As
Navajo people, our work and dedication is centered on the Dine philosophy of
Balance, Harmony, Respect and Equality. As children of Mother Earth and Father Sky,
we are honored and obligated to protect and preserve the natural state of Harmony
and Beauty. Our responsibilities are not limited to the four elements of life but
all life that encompasses our very existence as humans. We aim to honor our
fore-fathers, their teachings and wisdom against all desecrating entities, corporate
intrusion and environmental injustices.
2. Show 2 DVDs on Coal & DDR Organization- 24.13 mins long and 30mins total 54.13mins.
3. Questions & Answers would be another hour or longer, I really don't like to
limit my time when others have questions that they want answered.
I will also have DDR T-Shirts for sale for $25 each. long sleeve good quality
shirts & bumper stickers for any amount of donations to DDR.
I assure you this event will not be a waste of your time if you are concerned about
your environment here on Mother Earth!
