Two films, which have a total duration of one hour,
are to be viewed and discussed. They are: Colombia-
Peace at What Price? a controversial video from an
Australian solidarity group- CISLAC, and SOA: Guns &
Greed by Maryknoll Productions from School of Americas
Watch. 

	The latter includes rarely seen footage that shows
how the combat-ready SOA graduates use their guns to
protect the greed of large corporations and world
financial institutions, and interviews with the varied
domestic opposition to the SOA 
(And it's been promised to arrive in time, Roy
Bourgeois is to be in the area, Wed Sept 26th and on
WILL Focus 580 Sept 27th.

	The former covers the disastrous social and economic
conditions of Colombia, the history of its popular and
guerrilla organisations, as well as taking up such
issues as the drug industry and Plan Colombia.
	
    The video contains never before seen footage,
including interviews with leaders of the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia-Peoples Army (FARC-EP) and
Colombian trade unionists who are leading the fight to
prevent the implementation of neoliberal policies by
the government of Andris Pastrana.
