We believe that good storytelling strengthens social movements, so every year we want to select stories from Resist to turn into films.
During 2008 we asked people to upload their stories of resistance and spoke with many writers and political thinkers.
Using what we've learnt, we've chosen to make our first film with the actor Gael Garcia Bernal about the wall that is being built between Mexico and America.
The wall being built between Mexico and America raises serious questions about systemic poverty, and how we are going to manage the shift of millions of people in the coming decades. Of course, this is not just a Mexico/USA issue.
For climatic reasons, for economic reasons, for security reasons, people are moving and they are moving in a world that is effectively getting smaller and smaller. There are walls everywhere - between countries and across cities. They are built to protect those who can afford to protect themselves, they are built to keep the displaced and the poor outside.
Help us research the issues that surround the Mexico/USA border.
