Eight Mayan women
I am posting this video to get us going, and as an example of the sort of videos I am asking you to look for. I found this video through the organization Rights Action, which is based in Canada and builds alliances in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico for community development and human rights.
This video focuses on the resistance of a community to a form of development, a Goldcorp mine. In 2007 UBC received $5 million from Goldcorp (based in Vancouver) for the new earth sciences building.

We will be posting short videos about development (and related issues) made in/by/with peoples of the majority world (“global South” – though it is also in the heart of Vancouver, and in the far North). We will also be posting short videos made by our class about how uneven development shapes our communities in greater Vancouver. Enjoy!
