Northeast Neighbors for Peace and Justice presents
Friday, March 4 This Is What Free Trade Looks Like (2004, 64 minutes) with special guest filmmaker
"This Is What Free Trade Looks Like: NAFTA fraud in m?xico, the failure of the WTO, and the case for global revolt" takes a Global South perspective on Free Trade in order to contextualize the increasingly fierce resistance movements emerging around the world today. The most authoritative experience of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is no doubt the Mexican one, since M?xico has already endured 10 years of the most advanced Free Trade Agreement in operation, NAFTA. The film examines M?xico'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 Canc?n, M?xico at the 5th WTO ministerial in September 2003.
