Subject: July 7 NYC premiere of great new doc 
film about last year's coup in Honduras


Dear friends and colleagues,

I wanted to invite you to the U.S. premiere of a 
powerful new documentary film  about last year's 
coup in Honduras, and the courageous resistance 
movement that's risen up to challenge it. I've 
been helping to organize the screening here in 
New York and hope you can make it -- next 
Wednesday July 7 (details below, please share far 
and wide, it's free!). I had the chance to meet 
the filmmakers last month in Argentina, where 
they were living in exile and finishing their 
film (more on their story here), and director 
Katia Lara will be in New York next week for a 
the one-day screening, before accompanying the 
film in DC, Philadelphia and the Bay Area. The 
NYC screening is co-sponsored by the Center for 
Constitutional Rights, CISPES, NACLA, Madres and the Indypendent.

Hope to see you there!

Joseph

p.s. Here's a piece I just did for The Guardian 
on the one-year anniversary of the coup, based on 
my interviews with Honduran anti-coup activists.

"...a much needed truth telling intervention 
where mainstream media has failed."
—Greg Grandin, award-winning author Empire’s 
Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism

A widely-anticipated, feature-length documentary 
film about the 2009 military coup d'etat in 
Honduras and the incredible resistance movement 
that has risen up to challenge it.

René is a Honduran amateur actor who appeared on 
television spots promoting the referendum on 
convening the National Constituent Assembly in 
Honduras. On June 28th, 2009, instead of a 
referendum, there was a brutal coup d’état: the 
army abducted President Manuel Zelaya and had him 
flown abroad. Along with thousands of other 
Hondurans, René joined the National Resistance 
Front against the Coup d’ État. An unprecedented 
Honduras arises: a people who resist despite 
media bias, violence and death, and take to the 
streets to stand up for their rights. This is their story.

Sponsored by the Center for Constitutional 
Rights, MADRE, CISPES, NACLA and the Indypendent. 
Film by terco Producciones and el INCAA 
(Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales de Argentina)
