> DESCRIPTION

A special screening of Maquilapolis: City of Factories. This experimental documentary goes inside the world of Tijuana's maquiladora assembly plants by putting the cameras in the hands of the factories' women workers. Part visual activism and part portrait of unequal globalization, Maquilapolis unravels the myths, lies, and romances of free trade. The project is a collaboration between filmmaker Vicky Funari, artist Sergio De La Torre, and Tijuana women's organization Grupo Factor X, with participation from the human rights organization Global Exchange, and the environmental activism organization The Environmental Health Coalition. Post-screening discussion with Sergio De La Torre and Vicky Funari.
