Simón Sedillo is a chicano community rights defense organizer and a documentary film-maker whose work has centered on placing skills, cameras and editing equipment in the hands of communities in resistance so that they may be able to document their own histories of struggle. Sedillo has spent the last 6 years documenting and teaching community based video documentation in Mexico, in immigrant communities, and with youth of color across the US. Sedillo is currently on tour screening short film segments, from Oaxaca and Chiapas, produced by a new Oaxacan media cooperative, manovuelta.net. Sedillo recently helped uncover a military funding scandal at Kansas University, in Lawrence Kansas wherein the geography department was working in collaboration with the Department of Defense to map communally held indigenous land in Oaxaca. He will also be sharing his latest investigative research into the mater.
