New documentary on Mexican political crisis
(see cablecast dates below - starts Thurs. Dec. 14)

Labor Beat is very proud to announce the midwest premiere of a very important and unique documentary about the political crisis in Mexico — No Te Rajes!

Produced by Caitlin Manning and the Videoactivista collective, it shows the movement of peaceful civil disobedience that took over the heart of Mexico City for 49 days July through September of this year. The movement was catalyzed by the fraudulent elections in July 2006. The documentary provides background and context for current wave of social movements in Mexico, and includes the Sept. 16 National Democratic Convention in El Zocalo in Mexico City which declared Obrador the true elected President,.

This meaty, well-made documentary is an absolute must for anyone paying attention to the developing political powder keg south of the Rio Grande. It is an excellent tool to bring North Americans, spoon fed lies by the corporate media, up to speed on the situation.
