This documentary was shot between 2003 and 2011, when we followed several collectives and organizations in a process of mutual learning and coexistence. This is a film with no script, no make-up and no set design. They are the Portraits of the Struggle of thousands of men and women who have been able to revolutionize their lives, as well as the whole continent. As the sun rises, so does the Revolution These Portraits of the Struggle offers a thoughtful and earnest look regarding the learning experiences and the struggles launched by organized collectives. This documentary is an audiovisual log comprising the last seven years of the Bolivarian process in Venezuela. The access to land, drinking water, better working conditions at factories, as well as many other struggles of equal importance comprise part of the battle being fought every day. Its a battle against indifference, against a past filled with misery, against landowners and masters, against red tape and heartless officials. Every stage exposed in this documentary highlights that the sky is the limit when individual willpowers unite in order to become one voice. These portraits represent the bridges between communities and institutions, which work in solidarity in order to improve the living conditions of those traditionally disenfranchised and marginalized. Witness how by using the power of assembly, in public or secret places, at meetings, in the communities, factories and the countryside gave birth to urban land committees, worker´s self-managed factories, technical committees on water resources, communal councils, and cooperative movements, as well as the growth of the peasants struggle. I dreamed that my shack was like a flower, they said. They also explained how from their community spaces they were able to turn a past filled with shortages and plundering into a noteworthy present, built from the grassroots up and by means of peoples power Reasearch and Timecoding: Myriam Chekhemani, María Alejandra Pérez, Nayit Espinoza, Liz Oropeza, Olga Espinoza, Mariana Pacheco and Duamely Rondón Editing and mounting: Nayit Espinoza, Liz Oropeza and Benjamin Durand Scored by: José Sierra Directed by: Benjamin Durand Produced by: Vive Televisión Broadcasting: AlbaTV. albatv.org <http://www.albatv.org/> Contact: escuelapopu...@yahoo.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
