Crossing Arizona
(2006) Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed illegal border-crossers into the treacherous Arizona desert in unprecedented numbers an estimated 4,500 a day. Most are men in search of work, but increasingly the border-crossers are women and children seeking to reunite with their families. This influx of migrants crossing through Arizona and the attendant rising death toll have elicited complicated feelings about human rights, culture, class, labor and national security. Crossing Arizona examines the crisis through the eyes of those directly affected by it: frustrated ranchers, humanitarian groups, political activists, farmers. As up-to-date as the nightly news, but far more in-depth, Crossing Arizona reveals the surprising political stances people take when immigration and border policy fails everyone.

Cocalero
Cocalero is a film about controversial Bolivian president Evo Morales and his rise to prominence. The story follows the presidential campaign of Morales as he moves from union meetings in the Andes and Amazon to formal fundraising dinners and mass rallies in cities. The political rise of Morales, an outspoken critic of the United States whose political power base is in the coca-growing areas of central Bolivia, dates to his work with farmers resisting a coca eradication drive prompted by the US-backed war on drugs. In 2005 Morales, of Aymara Indian heritage, was elected as Bolivia's first-ever indigenous president, winning the election by the largest majority in the country's history.

Can’t do it in Europe
(Bolivia, 2006) 46 minutes by Charlotta Copcutt, Anna Weitz & Anna Klara Åhrén
Looking for a truly unusual tourist spot? How about the silver mines of Potosi in Bolivia, where you can don helmets, gloves and overalls and descend into the dark, stiflingly hot, and polluted mines to watch real Bolivian miners at work? This new phenomenon is called 'reality tourism,' whereby bored American or European travelers seek out real-life experiences as exciting tourist "adventures," where you are witness to working conditions that should have gone out with the Middle Ages. The film follows a group of such international tourists as they visit the mines in Potosi—the poorest city in the poorest nation in Latin America—where Bolivian miners work by hand, just as they did centuries ago, to extract silver from the earth.

Film Series: Indian Revolt
Bolivia, the poorest of the South American countries, is on the verge of civil war. After centuries of oppression, the Indian people are now demanding their rights. Indigenous people are in the majority, representing 60 per cent of the population. The Aymara and the Quechua in particular are demanding more power, a better living standard and more respect but also the nationalization of Bolivia's natural resources, especially natural gas.
Due to a well-organized protest by over one million dissatisfied Indians, the government resigned and the president fled abroad. Plans for selling natural gas to the United States ignited mass riots that took almost seventy lives. The ruling elite of Bolivia has been shocked by the marches and the blockades of big cities. It is unlikely that interest groups in the U.S. will just stand by and watch. "The worst case scenario is that the unrest in Bolivia will be seen as a threat to the stability of the entire South American continent. And that may lead to foreign occupation of Bolivia," says sociologist Alvaro Garcia Linera.

Film Series: La Dignidad de los Nadies/The Dignity of the Nobodies
One of Argentina’s best political filmmakers, Fernando Solanas (La Hora de los Hornos (Hour of the Furnaces), Tangos: El Exilio de Gardel (Tangos: The Exile of Gardel), El Viaje (The Journey)) latest documentary examines the desperate socio-economic conditions in Argentina that led to the December 2001 rebellions and the consequent social chaos. Through intimate interviews with his country’s “nobodies”—those living in Buenos Aires’ poorest shantytowns, those working in the crumbling hospitals, and women farmers fighting multi-national banks shamelessly appropriating their farmlands—Solanas provides gripping on-the-ground perspective on this pivotal moment in Argentina’s political history. Solanas achieves a strong bond of trust with his subjects—which is further enhanced by his use of small format cameras—creating a remarkable film that breathes new life into the social documentary format and gives back to his subjects their dignity and strength in the face of a daunting socio-economic struggle.

LASP Film: Artside and the Endless Revolution
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the former president of Haiti, was twice removed from office with the complicity of the international community. A rigorous investigation into the events that led to his ouster, ARISTIDE AND THE ENDLESS REVOLUTION exposes the geopolitical intrigue, the economic alliances between the Haitian and U.S. elite, the armed criminals posing as freedom fighters and other factors that have consistently threatened this young democracy.
The film introduces renowned physician and anthropologist Paul Farmer, President Aristide himself, UN goodwill ambassador Danny Glover, Noam Chomsky, Roger Noriega (Assistant Secretary of State under George W. Bush), Congresswoman Maxine Waters, James Dobbins (director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at Rand and former U.S. Special Envoy in Haiti), John Shattuck (former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor) and many Haitian Voices.
Ultimately, ARISTIDE AND THE ENDLESS REVOLUTION reveals the tangled web of hope, deceit, and political violence that has brought the world's first black republic to its knees. Filmmaker Nicolas Rossier (Brothers and Others) travels to Haiti, Pretoria, Boston, Miami, New York and Barbados to investigate the events that led to the collapse of Aristide's government.

LASP Film: Justice
This fascinating feature documentary, winner of several international prizes, offers an intimate look inside the Brazilian justice system, closely observing the everyday work of attorneys, judges, prosecutors and other legal professionals, as well as the defendants passing through the system-a young man caught with a stolen car, another charged with complicity in petty theft, and a teenager arrested for possession of drugs and weapons.
The film follows each case through its various stages, showing the defendants' meetings with public defenders, the reading of the charges and questioning of the defendants by a judge, scenes of their detention in grossly overcrowded cells, and supervised meetings with family members. JUSTICE (Justiça) also extends its view beyond the courtrooms and jails to reveal the personal lives of a judge, a public defender, and the families of the accused.
The film's straightforward observational approach, lacking any voice-over narration, gradually succeeds in revealing a broader social picture, one involving clear implications of police corruption, an oppressive judicial system that basically seems designed to punish the poor for petty crimes, and a penal system characterized by horrifically inhumane conditions. In a very compelling way, JUSTICE reveals the legal system as a sort of public theater dramatizing the social relations and power structures of Brazilian society at large.

LASP Film: Today and Tomorrow
The seemingly unavoidable downward spiral of Argentina's middle class during the current economic and social crisis is vividly brought to life in the character of young, street-smart Paula.
A talented, would-be actress with a paying job as a waitress, she is always on the run: from her landlord, from the gas bill, from being late for work, and from her father's demands. Her energy is matched in the nervous yet intimate camera work that follows her closely though the 24 hours she is given to raise the money required to avoid being evicted. Paula's disillusion and emotional turmoil become increasingly disturbing as her desperation leads her to darker corners of Buenos Aires' nightlife.
Alejandro Chomski tracks actress Antonella Costa in every frame lending enormous credibility to the troubled Paula with her appropriately wired performance.

LASP Film: La Cueca Sola
On September 11, 1973, a military coup in Chile brought Augusto Pinochet to power, and over the next 17 years, thousands of women and men were taken from their homes- never to return. Since that time, Chilean women have danced the country’s traditional courtship dance alone, and “La Cueca Sola” has become a symbol of women’s struggle against the dictatorship.
After 30 years in exile, critically acclaimed filmmaker Marilu Mallet returns to Santiago to meet with five Chilean women from three generations who suffered under the dictatorship and have emerged as heroes under democracy. Isabel Allende, Monique Hermosilla, Estela Ortiz, Carolina Toha and Moyenei Valdes all lost a father, a husband, or a friend, but have surmounted their grief to bravely speak out, each in their own way- from political action to vocal performance. Intimate interviews reveal the women’s shocking experiences under the dictatorship, while inspiring footage of their current work highlights their passion to rebuild. Illustrating throughout with a wealth of archival images, Mallet paints a vivid portrait of the country’s painful past and offers insight on Chile’s situation today. Important historically, socially and politically, this moving film expresses both the courage of women and the vitality of a nation.

LASP Film: Between Midnight and the Rooster's Crow
Ecuador, 2005, 66 minutes by Nadja Drost
In the aggressive search for the 'black gold' that drives Western economies, multinational corporations are working to extract billions of dollars of oil reserves from beneath Ecuador's rainforest. BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER'S CROW investigates the operations of the EnCana Corporation, a firm that, despite proud public declarations of its social responsibility, is shown to be answerable for widespread environmental contamination and human rights violations.
BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER'S CROW focuses on EnCana's development of a heavy crude oil pipeline from the Amazon across the earthquake-prone Andes to the Pacific coast for export. Since oil exploitation represents a solution for Ecuador's economic crisis, the government has gone out of its way to facilitate EnCana's plans, disregarding protests about property destruction and contamination. The government has even lauded EnCana for its supposed responsibility (the film's title refers to a government decision to present EnCana with an environmental award).
Filmmaker Nadja Drost follows the cross-country route of the pipeline, along the way interviewing farmers, indigenous community representatives, environmental activists and others, who recount forced relocation, imprisonment, and intimidation, including shootings and beatings by the Ecuadorian police and army who protect EnCana's pipeline.
Avoiding government and corporate security agents, Drost documents unsafe construction, toxic waste, and contamination of rivers, as well as the affects on Ecuadorians (skin cancer, miscarriages and birth defects) and the destruction of wildlife and natural preserves. Occasionally dredging up a lump of foul-smelling crude on the end of a stick, the filmmaker here becomes, literally, a muck-raking journalist.
We also see Drost presenting evidence of corporate misdeeds to Ecuadorian government bureaucrats, and confronting EnCana's CEO at a stockholders' meeting.
Ultimately, BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND THE ROOSTER'S CROW is a revealing case study of the troubling connections between multinational corporations, insatiable Western consumption patterns, and the resultant devastation wrought on the social, economic, and environmental conditions of foreign countries and populations.

The Veil of Berta
Chile, 2004, 73 minutes, by Esteban Larrain
In the mountains south of Chile, the multinational enterprise Endesa is developing the “Ralco” project, building a gigantic dam that will stop the flow of the Bio-Bio River, and flood the land where the native Pehuenche community, Ralco Lepoy has lived for centuries. In spite of public support of the Chilean government, the company is opposed from the start by the strong resistance of a small group of Pehuenche women. After years of actively resisting the project, by 2002 these are the only families that the company has failed to evict. The Veil of Berta is a delicate narration of the story of one of these women, Berta Quintreman, who at the age of 88 leads the group opposing the construction of the dam. A woman with a strong personality and a unique blend of humor and energy, Berta lives alone on her small piece of land, and observes all the traditions of her people. On a daily basis, she greats the trees and the sun, takes mate (a typical herbal tea) with her dead and says her prayers. But at the same time she confronts the authorities of Endesa and the government, manages to halt the machinery and works together with other families to prevent the flooding of their land.

The country is Peru, but the story is disturbingly familiar in today's world as the current U.S. “war on terror” unfolds with startling parallels - the terrorist threat, anti-terrorist legislation, an attempted military solution, the roles of intelligence and the media in the use of fear to manipulate public opinion, and the assault on democracy.

Warrior of Light
Germany, 2001, 94 minutes, by Monika Treut
Shot on location in Brazil, Warrior of Light, is a documentary portrait of the extraordinary Brazilian social activist Yvonne Bezerra de Mello, a fiercely individual female pioneer whose work with street kids in Rio de Janeiro’s most dangerous slums is truly inspiring.
Bezerra de Mello, with her mile-wide smile and fierce pragmatism, is as much a contradiction as Rio itself. Born into the middle class, she studied at the Sorbonne, married a Swedish diplomat, raised three children in Europe, divorced, returned to Rio, and married a wealthy hotelier from a traditional Brazilian family. While growing into the customary social life of the elite, Yvonne established herself as an accomplished sculptor and writer who also took pleasure in her practice as a skilled equestrian.
All changed however, with the 1993 Candelaria massacre of homeless children by Rio’s military police. Already concerned with the plight of Rio’s street kids, Yvonne became a world-famous human-rights crusader by offering protection to survivors of the atrocity. Subsequently, she founded “Projeto Uere” or “Children of Light”, which she dedicated to the protection and education of the kids living in Rio’s streets. Although “Projeto Uere” brought her into conflict with Brazil’s wealthy elite, Bezerra de Mello gained international recognition for her work, winning many awards including “Femme Lumiere” of the 20th century by the UNESCO.
What is most remarkable about Bezerra de Mello is her literally hands-on approach. Risking great danger in slums terrorized by drug lords, she builds shelters, establishes safe houses, and, above all, provides education, music, and boundless affection to children who have previously known nothing but poverty, abuse, and fear. Acclaimed German director Monika Treut (My Father is Coming, Virgin Machine) sees Bezerra de Mello not as a saint but as a fiercely individual female pioneer, a woman who is as vividly real as she is inspirational.

LASP: The Passion of Maria Elena
When Maria Elena's 3-year-old son Jorge is killed in a hit-and-run accident in Chihuahua, Mexico, she begins a quest for justice that brings her face to face with racism, corruption, and the traditional attitudes of her community.
Maria Elena is indigenous - a Raramuri - and Marisela, the driver who killed her son, is 'white.' Maria Elena must therefore face not only an official justice system that discriminates against her, but also the whispers of those in her remote mountain community who regard her with suspicion because she is a divorced woman who moved to the city. Some go so far as to blame her for Jorge's death.

This is the harrowing story of a (not quite) typical mule: Maria Alvarez (Moreno), an intelligent and fiercely independent 17-year-old girl from Colombia who agrees to smuggle a half-kilo of heroin into the United States.
Movie and news portrayals of the illicit drug trade have typically focused on the big money, big playa aspects - the giant drug busts, the uber-bling lifestyle, the live fast, die rich thug mentality. But far below the headlines and spotlights are the "mules," men and women who transport contraband inside their bodies, either by swallowing orŠwell, other means (gulp!). It's an extremely high-risk activity that's portrayed in Maria Full of Grace, a well-meaning but ultimately inadequate drama.

Sin Embargo
Free and open to the public!
Fingerlakes Environmental Film Festival
49 mins., 2003, Cuba
“After the revolution of 1959 and the U.S. embargo that followed, the people of Cuba were left to fend for themselves. Deprived of even the most basic goods, they scavenged the alleys and scrap heaps, giving new vitality to the discarded. Their recycled products are often remarkably ingenious and creative. For Andres the sculptor, Tomas the canary breeder, and the other subjects of Sin Embargo, even under the greatest pressure – whether levied by government or circumstance – cannot crush the spirit nor quash the desire to forge a better life for themselves and their families. Shot entirely in Cuba, Sin Embargo is a look into the hearts and dreams of struggling peoples and a tribute to their optimistic and resourceful determination to survive.”

Initially reluctant to leave his Dutch girlfriend, Roy gradually discovers that his homeland holds more complexity than he ever imagined, especially when he falls in love with Rubia, an Indian Surinamese girl. As the outraged parents conspire to separate the racially mixed pair, Roy embarks on a journey to understand his newly free country, and the camera follows him from a fruit-eating orgy at the central market to a sweaty midday meringue party to the Amazonian jungles.

The Fourth World War
The Fourth World War
(60 min, U.S., 2004) Produced by Big Noise Productions
While American airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human face of war is rarely seen. The Fourth World War weaves together the images and voices of the war on the ground - from the front lines of struggles in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, `the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the `War on Terror' in New York and Iraq.
Narrated by Tony Award winner Suheir Hammad and Singer Michael Franti of Spearhead, it is a radical story of hope and human connection in the face of a war that shatters and divides.

In Katherine Kean's chronicle of the 1991 military coup, Haitians speak out about political events in their country following the rise of Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide after Duvalier's exile, through the military coup that sent Aristide, Haiti's first elected president, into exile, up to the moment when the USA brought him back to his homeland and his presidency--with strings attached. "Rezistans" features disturbing footage and commentary from many Haitian resistance leaders, artists, writers, and critics of US foreign policy, including Noam Chomsky.

Plan Colombia: Cashing-in on the Drug War Failure
(60 minutes, Colombia, 2002) Directed by Gerard Ungeman
With most of the U.S. military aid under the so-called "Plan Colombia" delivered, Pres. Pastrana unilaterally withdraws from the peace process engaged with the FARC guerilla (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and steps up violence in this 50-year quasi-civil war. But what is left of the initial anti-narcotics purpose of the U.S. "Plan Colombia"?
Interviews including Noam Chomsky, Ramsey Clark, Colombian Presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt (now a hostage of the FARC), Paul Wellstone and John Conyers, U.S. Gov. officials, a WWF scientist, and many Colombians from all walks of life, including guerilla-leaders, will shed light on the complex issues of drug-trafficking and civil struggle in Colombia. The documentary also looks at the impact and result of the chemical-spraying campaign carried out by U.S. Defense-contractor Dyncorps.

1932: Scars of Memory (Cicatriz de la Memoria)
(53 minutes, El Salvador, 2002)
Directed by Jeffrey Gould & Carlos Henriquez
January 22, 1932. An unprecedented peasant uprising erupts in western El Salvador. Over a period of three days, a ragtag group of Ladino and indigenous peasants take control over several towns, cut supply lines, and attack a military garrison. Retribution is swift. After three days, the army and "citizen militias" move in. In some villages, they slaughter all males over age 12. Elsewhere, they execute anyone suspected of having any link whatsoever to Communists. Over the next few weeks, 10,000 people are massacred - most of them indigenous.
In 1932: Scars of Memory survivors of the uprising share their harrowing memories - many for the first time. The trauma resonated through six decades of military rule, until the 1992 peace accords ended a brutal, 12-year civil war.

Balseros (Cuban Rafters)
120 minutes, Spain 2002, Directed by Carles Bosch & Josep Mª Domènech
In the summer of 1994, a team of public television reporters filmed and interviewed seven Cubans, and their families, beginning a few days before their risky venture of setting out to sea in homemade rafts to reach the coast of the United States.
One of the balseros (rafters) was on a raft that was not seaworthy and had to return to Havana. The others made it far enough to be picked up at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard and taken to the North American naval base at Guantanamo, where the film crew caught up with them, and recorded their many months of confinement. Their families in Cuba had no news of them.
When the balseros were finally allowed to go to the United States, the film crew went with them to a string of cities that included Miami; the Bronx; York, Pennsylvania; Grand Isle, Nebraska; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and a host of other places to which the lives of these immigrants carried them. Seven years later, the film crew visits them again, to discover what their destiny has been in the United States. Theirs is a true story about some of the authentic survivors of our times, the human adventure of people who are shipwrecked between two worlds.

1) The Water is Ours, Damn It! and 2) Now With Bill Moyers
1) The Water is Ours, Damn it!
by One World Production, focuses on the successful fight against the privatization of water in Cochabamba, Bolivia. 33 minutes
Directed by Sheila Franklin and Ravi Khanna
Through interviews and riveting footage of street battles that took place between November 1999 and April 2000, people of Cochabamba tell the story of how they were able to force the government of Bolivia to nullify the contract which sold the city’s water to US based Bechtel Corporation.
2) NOW With Bill Moyers
2002, US, 60 minutes
Who does water belong to? Who should control it? NOW takes you to where protest and dissent still matter. In many countries water is scarce and becoming as valuable as liquid gold. In the name of globalization, it is being argued that only the market can distribute this scarce commodity most efficiently, and water rights are being bought up by multinational corporations ... those who need water are pitted against those who want it for profit.

The Price of Gold
This is the story of Andean paradise lost – lost after a devastating mercury spill. On June 2, 2000 at the Yanacocha goldmine in the Peruvian Andes, 151 kilograms of liquid mercury spilled over a 25-mile long area, contaminating three mountain villages, including Choropampa. The environmental catastrophe turned this quiet village into a hot bed of civil resistance. The mine, jointly owned by a Peruvian company, The World Bank, and the Newmont Mining Crop of Colorado, insists the problem was quickly resolved, while villagers tell a starkly different story. Choropampa – The Price of Gold follows their valiant struggle for health care and justice over a two- year period.
More than 900 people were poisoned from the spill. Nearly two years afterward, they continue to suffer the grave, debilitating effects of mercury poisoning. Proper medical care has not been provided to the villagers, and their health continues to deteriorate.
