"this is what free trade looks like" & film from m28 in guadalajara

Designed for educational and community use as a companion film to This is What Democracy Looks Like", "This is what Free Trade Looks Like" 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. 2004. 60 minutes.

Tonight's screening is a fundraiser for bail and legal costs for activists repressed in Guadalajara. A Mexican activist working on this legal situation will be present to speak and show a 30 minute activist documentary about the events (Spanish with English subtitles).
