11/30-MARIA FULL OF GRACE:  FILM

A 17-year old, lives with three generations of her family in a cramped house in rural Colombia. Desperate to leave her job stripping thorns from flowers, Maria accepts a lucrative offer to transport swallowed packets of heroin to the United States. The ruthless world of international drug trafficking proves to be more than Maria bargained for as she becomes ultimately entangled with both drug cartels and immigration officials. A conclusion so powerful and revealing it could only be based on a thousand true stories. Maria's journey humanizes a problem that is too easily relegated to a headline. Directed by Joshua Marston, 2004. Movie: Spanish with English subtitles. Discussion: English.

Time: 06:30PM–08:30PM

12/1- A TRADE WITHOUT BORDERS— THE COCAINE TRADE AND U.S. DRUG POLICY:

Despite billions of dollars being spent since the 1980s to eliminate the cocaine trade, it still thrives and significantly impacts U.S. relations with Latin America. Suzanne Wilson, Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Gustavus Adolphus College, analyzes U.S. drug policies against the cocaine trade in Latin America, and their effects on coca cultivation, cocaine processing, and drug trafficking. Specifically, U.S. drug policy in Colombia and Mexico will be discussed.

12/7- BINTA AND THE GREAT IDEA:   FILM

Binta's father is a small-time fisherman in Senegal. Impressed by Europeans who catch thousands of fish using big boats equipped with sonar, he is shown sharing this ‘great idea’ with various officials. But, when meeting with the provincial leader, we find out his true intentions. He wants to make the world a better place by adopting a white child and teaching him/her the qualities that Western industrialized society has largely lost, such as sharing, solidarity and the sustainable use of resources. This film is unusual in that it allows us a glimpse of Western culture as viewed from a third world perspective. Various themes are touched upon: the power of art to bring about change, sustainability and equitable division of resources, and the true meaning of progress and humanity. Directed by Javier Fesser, 2004. Movie: Diola and French with English subtitles. Discussion: English

12/14- LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE:   FILM

Based on the best-selling novel by Laura Esquival, this internationally popular romantic fable from Mexico centers on a young woman who discovers that her cooking has magical effects. The tale's heroine, Tita, is the youngest of three daughters in a traditional Mexican family. Bound by tradition to remain unmarried while caring for her aging mother, Tita nevertheless falls in love with Pedro. Pedro returns her affection, but is destined to marry Tita's elder sister. The lovestruck young woman is brutally disappointed, and her sadness has such force that it infects her cooking: all who eat it her feel her heartbreak with the same intensity. Directed by Alfonso Arau, 1992. Movie: Spanish with English subtitles. Discussion: English.

Time: 06:30PM
