Zapatistas in Wellington: Movie Night
Zapatistas in Wellington: Movie Night
The Wellington Zapatista Support Group is screening films once a month to raise awareness of the plight of indigenous people in Mexico. The second screening will be a compilation of documentaries made by Zapatistas communities. They explain the Zapatista resistance movement and how it is organized.
Unlike many indigenous communities reduced to accepting government hand-outs, the Zapatistas are committed to the peaceful development and provision of their own health, education and justice systems.
The Wellington Zapatista Support Group is assisting the Caracol of La Garrucha to deliver basic health services. The proceeds from this fundraising event will go towards a vaccination campaign.
Please join us at Happy on the corner of Tory and Vivian streets, Tuesday May 27, 8.30 pm. Admission to the screening is by koha (donation).
