The film (2006/66 min) documents community organizing in Venezuela during this period of the Bolivarian Revolution. The director, Jennifer Wager, will be there for a Q&A session. The film will be followed by a short video (15 min) and a presentation by Vicente Mayorga, from the Frente Unido de Inmigrantes Ecuatorianos, about the current demonstrations of teachers and indigenous people in Ecuador.
