La Estrategia del Caracol (1993, 105 min., Colombia, IN SPANISH NO SUBTITLES) Sergio Cabrera directs this film about a group of people renting apartments in a building in Bogota. When the neighbors receive news that they are to be evicted to make way for gentrification things get interesting. The neighbors band together with an old anarchist Spanish revolutionary war vet and resist in progressively more unconventional and at times hilarious ways. This is a great flick about resistance with a sense of humor. Monday, April 28th | 29

Guatemala, International Mining, and Autonomous Community Resistance Fausto Valiente Roberto de Leon represents the Pastoral Commission for Peace and Ecology (COPAE), and will speak about community struggles against gold and silver extraction in San Marcos, Guatemala. COPAE is an organization that has accompanied communities through community consultations in Sipakapa and other forms of resistance. COPAE works to monitor the health, social, and environmental affects of mining and supports community efforts to exert their right to autonomy against transnational corporations and create locally determined economic alternatives for development. In addition to discussing the devastating affects of mining on rural communities, Fausto will address how the international system and the neoliberal model facilitate the entry of Northern mining companies in Guatemala. |
