*"The governments of Israel and USA are working together to build walls of
Apartheid, walls of division, walls of death ..." quote from the film. *

"Besides the superficial similarities between Palestine and Mexico, we need
to uncover the structural patterns of oppression that are common in every
struggle for self-determination and national liberation movement against
colonization and occupation."  Two Walls One Struggle - Gabriel Camacho
American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)

*El Muro* shows the human and environmental consequences of the border
fence between Tijuana and San Diego. Along the way it visits the reasons
for the fence with local and global perspectives on its effectiveness.
Migrants, deportees, minutemen, coyotes, environmentalists, writers, and
academics all lend their experience and perspective in terms of human
rights, democracy, NAFTA, globalization, and the destruction of the Tijuana
estuary, the last standing unobstructed estuarine wetland left in Southern
California.

*ROADMAP TO APARTHEID*

*PREVIEW SCREENING*

*By Ana Nogueira and Eron Davidson*

*2011 | Documentary | 95 mins*

There are many lessons to draw from the South African experience of
Apartheid relevant to conflicts all over the world. *Roadmap to
Apartheid*explores in detail the apartheid comparison as it is used in
the enduring
Israel-Palestine conflict. As much an historical document of the rise and
fall of apartheid, the film shows us why many Palestinians feel they are
living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people
around the world agree with them.

Featuring interviews with South Africans, Israelis and Palestinians, *Roadmap
to Apartheid* winds its way through the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and inside
Israel moving from town to town and issue to issue to show why the
apartheid analogy is being used with increasing potency. It analyzes the
similar historical narratives of the Jewish people and the Afrikaaners to
the tight relationship the two governments shared during the apartheid
years, and everything in between. The effectiveness of the Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions movement that helped end apartheid in South Africa
is also compared to its effectiveness in the Israeli context to end the
occupation, and bring justice and dignity to all.
