South of Obama: "South of the Border" Viewing Party
Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative
426 W. Gilman Steet
Friday, December 10, 8pm
There's a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn't know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the mainstream media's misperception of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents. Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.
Please join CALA in watching Oliver Stone's documentary film "South of the Border" on changes taking place in South America, U.S. intervention in the region, and the major media's poor coverage of these important topics. Ours will be one of many viewings of the film on Friday, December 10, Human Rights Day, and we will be joined via a live video stream by the film's co-writer Mark Weisbrot for a Q & A about the film and what we can do to improve U.S.-Latin America policy.
