DOCUMENTARY MAIN THEMES:
1. FREE TRADE
NAFTA repercussions, maquilas, human rights, women rights, indigenous rights.
Will CAFTA bring a sustainable income to the job-seekers of Central America?
2. INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
Their struggle to survive in areas far from the public eye.
Respecting and learning from indigenous communities instead of marginalizing and blaming them.
3. COMMUNITY VOICE
MesoAmerican organizations: CIPO-RFM Oaxacan Indigenous Council, the Zapatistas Good Governing Committee, FIECH Coffee Collective in Tziscao, Chiapas and more. Linking diverse movements to increase solidarity and promote successful strategizing. Using alternative media to educate via radio, television, books, flyers, and documentaries.
4. THE ENVIRONMENT
Small farmers are forced off their land while foreigners buy their rights to the local natural resources.
5. THE PLAN PUEBLA-PANAMA
The PPP is a series of construction projects (highways, dams, airports, seaports, electrical grids) in development now. What is it really and who is behind it?
6. LAND RIGHTS
Who owns it? What right does a multinational have to kick the indigenous off their ancestral homelands? The displaced often find themselves part of rising urban violence and poverty. A time will come when multinationals won't be able to ignore the deteriorating MesoAmerican reality surrounding them. Must we wait or can we act as protagonists of conscienciousness?
