.

"Haunted Land," an award winning documentary that
tells the story of a massacre committed in Guatemala,
will be screened on Tuesday, April 8, 6:30 PM, at
the Moot Court, McGill Faculty of Law (Peel and
Penfield, NW corner). A discussion will follow
with the film's director, Mary Ellen Davis, who also
teaches at Concordia University's School of Cinema.

The film moves into Guatemala's recent past and
focuses on a Maya survivor of one of many massacres
committed by government soldiers, as well as on a
Guatemalan photographer. Together, they travel to a
remote site in the highlands, where the community
of Petanac once stood. The bones found there by
archaeologists tell a story of agony.

Everyone is welcome to attend. The screening is
sponsored by McGill's Human Rights Working Group
and the Refugee Research Project. The documentary
is subtitled in English.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
