Memoirs: Part One
Comstock Junction: A Peace-Justice Partnership
This 59-minute video
documentary collage depicts the journeys of two families and some of
our
human rights efforts since 1991, which includes work
in Chiapas and central Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras, El
Salvador, Cuba, Palestine, and engages the personal lives
of both families, one now from Tennessee, the other from upstate
New York. To view a trailer, see below ...
One extended section is
about a Christmas mini-caravan both our families undertook in
1994 with a schoolbus and van, supplies and other volunteers
to base-community cooperatives in the Tulancingo, Mexico
region, roughly between Mexico City and Veracruz. Another
covers a civil disobedience journey to Cuba in 1993
sponsored by Global Exchange in which participants met Fidel
Castro, and in which a significant number were detained upon
return to the U.S. and their passports were confiscated. The
documentary, produced and realized by Wes Rehberg, also
includes a meeting with Zapatista comandantes in Chiapas,
the construction of two ferry boats for Hondurans cut off by
a large hydroelectric power reservoir, election observation
in El Salvador, accompaniment of massacre survivors and
personal interviews.
