November 9th Friday 6:30 p.m. Sierra Club film night " 500 Years: Life in Resistance Clairemont Mesa Blvd #101, San Diego, CA 92111 This film is the third of a three-part series depicting the centuries-old struggle of Guatemala's indigenous majority against a powerful elite minority, an aspiring middle class, foreign corporations, and the brutal military that supports them through torture, killings, evictions, burning of villages, and the theft and destruction of Mayan land. The film depicts the genocide trial of two military leaders, the struggles in defense of indigenous land, and the massive 2015 protests against corruption and impunity that finally united urban middle class protestors with those from the Mayan countryside. Ongoing protests against mining, oil drilling, and for water rights demonstrates that Mayan resistance in Guatemala is an unfinished history.
