Sunday Screening: This is What Free Trade looks like
Primary tabs
Rochester Indymedia will re-establish its monthly Sunday Screening Series with the Documentary "This is What Free Trade Looks Like." The film will start at 6pm at St. Joes (402 South Ave.) Sean Maloney, who worked on the project, will present the film and faciliate a discussion immediately following the screening.
Designed for educational and community use as a companion film to This is What Democracy Looks Like, this 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.
