<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Friends,<div>I second Bob's request that you all support this film so that future requests have a chance of being shown. I'm one of the film's promoters and am thrilled at how well it's all come together -- not only a full week's showing of a documentary by an outstanding screenwriter-director, but a great line-up of after-film speakers as well. Here's a repeat of the link which Bob has provided below <a href="http://www.thecuart.com/South_Border_Speaker_Sched.pdf">http://www.thecuart.com/South_Border_Speaker_Sched.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div>PLEASE look over the dates/times and list of discussion leaders and choose a showing that fits yr schedule and interest? And -- what a deal!! -- if you pay for one admission but want to attend an additional after-film discussion, The Art Theater invites you to save yr receipt and attend that for

UI alumnus Mark Weisbrot co-wrote<br>the script. Rafael Correa was a graduate student in
Economics at UIUC,<br>where he was a dues-paying member of the GEO.<br><br>- This is the sort of movie that you often can't see on a big screen<br>in cities like Champaign-Urbana - it never gets out of the big cities.<br>But, several of us lobbied the Art Theater to show it, and they<br>agreed.<br><br>So, needless to say, those of us who lobbied for the film to come to<br>C-U would be especially pleased if there is a good turnout. There are<br>"reputation effects," as the economists say. We want the Art to bring<br>films like this in the future, so we want people to show up.<br><br>Here is the info on the Art's website - note that they have different<br>speakers for most of the showings, some of whom you might know:<br><a href="http://www.thecuart.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thecuart.com/</a><br><a href="http://www.thecuart.com/South_Border_Speaker_Sched.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.thecuart.com/South_Border_Speaker_Sched.pdf</a><br><br>Here is
