Seeking the promise of America, a young Honduran woman, Sayra, joins her father and uncle on an odyssey to cross the gauntlet of the Latin American countryside en route to the United States. Along the way she crosses paths with a teenaged Mexican gang member, El Casper (Edgar M. Flores), who is maneuvering to outrun his violent past and elude his unforgiving former associates. Together they must rely on faith, trust and street smarts if they are to survive their increasingly perilous journey towards the hope of new lives.

Tuesday, August 31: The 40th Anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium: The oppression of Chicano people and the emancipation of humanity. -- presentation by a participant in the Moratorium
7 pm
40 years ago over 25,000 Chicanos (people of Mexican descent born or raised in the U.S.) from across the country marched down Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles to demand an end to the Vietnam War and an end to their oppression as a people.
This was the first time the Chicano people had ever come together in this kind of outpouring of protest. It came at a time when the country was being rocked by the anti-war movement, which in a span of 10 days had seen protesting students shot and killed by National Guard troops at Kent State, and by police at Jackson State; at a time when people in 100 cities rose up in rebellion after the murder of Martin Luther King; when the Black Panther Party was "ideologizing" revolution on the scene; and when revolution was part of the mix in society....

Tuesday August 10 at 7 pm: Report-back from Arizona Freedom Summer
On July 29, Arizona's anti-immigration law, SB1070, went into effect. Revolutionary activists from the Bay Area -- who will report back--- were part of the building resistance to the law, declaring a “No Deportations Zone” in a Phoenix barrio, demonstrating in the streets on July 29, bringing the revolution we need and the leadership we have to Phoenix and Tucson. They said: “We don’t have an immigration problem. We have a capitalism problem.”
They willl discuss how the blocking by a federal court injunction of the implementation of some provisions of the law has not stopped the fascist offensive against immigrants in Arizona. In fact, it represents very real and bitter disagreements within the ruling class over how to control and repress immigrants. They will describe what has been the effect of this law among immigrants and those who stand with them and among those who are trying to drive them out of the state. They will report on the developing fascist movement against immigrants and the raids and roundups as well as the demonstrations in the streets against SB 1070 and the developing resistance.
They will speak to the urgent need to organize resistance against these attacks as part of building a movement for revolution.
Arizona's anti-Immigrant Law is inhumane & illegitimate. Stop the fascist Attacks on Immigrants!
