	* * * * * * * Tuesday, November 14th * FILM: My Brazil FREE! Filmmaker, Daniela Broitman, presents her film: My Brazil 258 Goldwin Smith, 6:00pm-8:00pm http://www.einaudi.cornell.edu/latinamerica/calendar/index.asp?id=8027 In the violent favelas of Rio de Janeiro, local community leaders put their lives on the line to fight for basic rights and services for their fellow citizens. What compels these volunteers with no political ambition to make such a personal sacrifice? "My Brazil" explores this question by following the daily lives of three courageous leaders and their participation in the Fifth World Social Forum-- the most important global meeting on social and economic justice. As they interact with activists, policymakers and leaders from all over the world, they seek ways to combat social, gender, and racial discrimination, and improve living conditions in their communities. -- Farah D.
