Latin American Studies Fall Documentary Film Festival: Amazon Journal
The Center of Latin American Studies invites you to the first event of its Fall Documentary Film Festival:
Amazon Journal
Wednesday, October 28- 7:00pm, Wescoe Hall Room 4012
Brief introduction to the film by KU professor of Environmental
Studies and Geography, Chris Brown.
"60 min., 1995. Going beyond the strict documentation of social and political events, Geoffrey O'Connor's Amazon Journal offers a critical, first person analysis of the complex web of misunderstanding that has distanced semi-isolated indigenous societies and Western European populations for centuries.
Some of the other landmark stories woven through this documentary include the impact of a gold rush and ensuing malaria epidemic on the Yanomami Indians between 1987 and 1990, the historic gathering of Indigenous People at Altamira in 1989, Sting's quest to "save the rain
forest," the assassination of Chico Mendes, the demarcation of Kayapo lands, the UN's "Earth Summit" in 1992, and the events surrounding the massacre of Yanomami Indians in 1993. The result is a unique, densely crafted personnel essay exploring a dimension of the rain forest story previously untouched by any other filmmaker."
Additional films this semester:
11/4- Señorita Extraviada- A film tracing the story of the "Women of Juarez" and the murders along the U.S.-Mexico border.
11/11- Zapatista- A look at the EZLN rebellion in Chiapas following the implementation of NAFTA in 1994.
11/18- Cowboy del Amor- A documentary comedy about "Cowboy Cupid" Ivan Thompson as he finds Mexican brides for disillusioned men searching for the perfect wife.
