>NOTE FROM MARJALEENA REPO:
>
>If you are in the Toronto (Ontario, Canada) area, do attend and bring
>others. This is clearly an important expose of how the U.S. continues to
>"kill hope" (to paraphrase the title of William Blum's book, Killing
>Hope, which details the role of the U.S. and the CIA in preventing
>democracy around the world). From the sound of it, this documentry is a
>companion piece to American filmmaker John Sayles' chilling new film,
>"Men with Guns", which depicts the conditions of state terrorism in
>Mexico (but does not pay enough attention to the role of the U.S./CIA in
>instigating this terrorism.)
>
>Those of you who can't attend - and there are many of you out there! -
>if you are interested in details on how to obtain a copy of the film for
>a showing, please let me know, and by the time you reply, I will have
>found the rental and contact information.  MR

No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes,
But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and roses, bread and roses.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies; bread and roses, bread and roses.
