A.N.S.W.E.R. Film Screening, "MAQUILAPOLIS (A City of Factories)"

Wednesday, April 25, 7 pm

137 N Virgil Ave. #201, Los Angeles

(5 min. from Vermont & Beverly Metro stop)

Join the ANSWER Coalition for a screening of "Maquilapolis," a documentary about Tijuana’s 800 maquiladoras and the women who work in them for poverty-level wages.

The filmmakers gave several women workers in Tijuana video cameras to make a record of their lives, giving the documentary the intimate feel of video diaries.

While “Maquilapolis” shows that globalization gives corporations the freedom to move around the world seeking cheaper labor and more lax environmental regulations, it also shows that organized workers can successfully demand that the laws be enforced. (2006, 60 min, Spanish w/ English subtitles)

Plus: Hear about the August 28 Immigrant Rights March in LA

A.N.S.W.E.R. PROYECCION CINEMATOGRAFICA

MAQUILAPOLIS

(Ciudad de Maquiladoras)

Miércoles, 25 de Agosto, 7 PM

137 N Virgil Ave. #201, Los Angeles

(5 min. De la estación del Metro Vermont & Beverly)

Únete a la Coalición ANSWER para la proyección de "Maquilapolis," un documental sobre las 800 maquiladoras en Tijuana y las mujeres que trabajan en las mismas por un salario que solamente puede mantener la pobreza.

Los directores del documental le dieron cámaras de video a las obreras en Tijuana para mantener un registro sobre sus vidas, dándole al documental el toque íntimo que brinda un vistazo es sus vidas cotidianas.

Además de que “Maquilapolis” muestra la libertad que la globalización le brinda a las corporaciones en su búsqueda por mano de obra barata y menos regulaciones ambientales estrictas alrededor del mundo, también demuestra a la misma vez que el proletariado organizado puede exigir con éxito que las leyes laborales sean cumplidas.

Además: Infórmese sobre la Marcha por los Derechos de Inmigrantes que se llevara a cabo el 28 de Agosto en Los Ángeles.
