On March 4, Flor y Canto brings you "This is What Free trade Looks Like" a new film by the Activist Media Project Los Angeles. It takes a Global South perspective on Free Trade in order to contextualize the increasingly fierce resistance movements emerging around the world today.

On Friday, March 4, Northeast Neighbors for Peace and Justice presents "This Is What Free Trade Looks Like" (2004, 64 minutes) with one of the filmmakers as a special guest. It covers NAFTA fraud in méxico, the failure of the WTO, and the case for global revolt.
The most authoritative experience of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is no doubt the Mexican one, since México has already endured 10 years of the most advanced Free Trade Agreement in operation, NAFTA. The film examines México's experience with NAFTA as a basis for understanding the impacts of other free trade agreements such as the WTO and the FTAA.
Interviews with experts and activists are interwoven with entertaining images of the protest events in Cancún, México at the 5th WTO ministerial in September 2003.
