Colorado AIM urges all people of goodwill to refrain from giving the bigot Gibson any profits from this film. Instead, Colorado AIM urges its members and allies to send the $20-30 that you might spend on attending the film to the following groups who work with Maya communities that are in active struggle for their survival and resurgence: <br><br> Chiapas Support Committee (www.chiapas-support.org) <br>  <br> P.O.
