The script closed eyes Latin America
. Text
presentation script eyes closed in the MIGUEL book screenplay of myrrh, Editorial Our America, to be presented during the upcoming Book Fair.
The script closed eyes Latin America was built, but not as we registered it; after so many years, we had left out this vice for beginners. It was built as we were involved with the issue. We had already made Long live GualeguaychĂș, we discover that wherever the news saw a roadblock, actually there was ... a citizen assembly. That is, a new form of sociability, as outlined in previous years, during the crisis. And where environmentalists see pollution, in reality there was also destruction of productive forces and the plundering of natural resources.
Then, expanding our view the rest of the country, we empty veins. That's when re-discovered Galeano's book The Open Veins of Latin America, where he was writing forty years later what would eventually be translated into a tragic reality for our peoples, that is, the looting. But we also discovered Jorge Rulli and Paul Bergel. Each other, from different aspects, led us to discern the root causes of this new process related to globalization and the looting that hit, as the other side indissoluble pollution. And they helped us understand the role of national states as gear necessary to realize the plans of plunder of natural resources. We also heard Ana Esther Cecena and Fernando Buen Abad, both of Mexico, we took the narrow limits of the national question to show the reality of Latin America as an indivisible whole face of transnational plans for the region.
And start to move down that path, not to mention the contribution and Paul Bergel and we had done in GualeguaychĂș Long live the deep sense of social movements in the processes of resistance to the onslaught of neoliberalism and globalization colonial.
Moreover, the Documentary Movement, the organization of the Three Continents Festival, had given us the chance to see the realities images common to other Latin American countries, had already begun to grasp from the conceptual.
So the puzzle was assembled. We saw that everything was in chains: The past and present, plunder and pollution, the colonial state and the citizens' assemblies, aggression and resistance. Narrative order only needed a thread to carry the hand of the texts of Galeano, from past to present, from the hand of Rulli, the looting of pollution from the hand of Bergel, the impotence and complicity of the states social resistance, by the hand of fellow American, from national to continental.
But we had to show not only to specialists, but more importantly, peoples and social movements to mobilize and fight in act, not only words. And you had to do over ten countries. Then ask for help. Based on that, faced with common realities always show common responses and common assault, common solidarity, we contacted other American filmmakers through the Documentary Movement network to send us audiovisual material that reflect the struggles of their peoples. And, of course, receive such assistance. Thus we have evidence, assemblies and demonstrations by the people of Choropampa in Peru, Black River in Guatemala, San Salvador Atenco, Mexico, etc, etc ...
The script was already written, just had to put in black characters printed on a sheet blank for us serve as a guide in carrying out our work. Do not forget that script is a great guide.
