<br>Told through compelling lives of five courageous Haitian women workers,
Poto Mitan gives the global economy a human face. Each woman’s personal
story explains neoliberal globalization, how it is gendered, and how it
impacts Haiti. And while Poto Mitan offers
in-depth understanding of Haiti, its focus on women’s subjugation,
worker exploitation, poverty, and resistance demonstrates these are
global struggles. Finally, through their collective activism, these
women demonstrate that despite monumental obstacles, collective action makes change possible. Discussion will focus on these issues as well as how they manifest in the post-earthquake situation. Film website: <a href="http://www.potomitan.net" target="_blank">www.potomitan.net</a><br>
