  • “KM.0 (Kilometer Zero)”

    » More images

    Shot and edited during this past September’s 5th WTO
    Ministerial in Cancun, Mexico, Km. 0 depicts the
    determination and power of thousands of dissenters
    both inside and outside the barricades that
    protected the WTO Meetings, while also bringing to
    light the critical issues surrounding the WTO’s
    escalating campaign of corruption.
    Against the surreal backdrop of Cancun, Km. 0 brings
    together over 20 video makers to depict the powerful
    story of the shutdown and crash of the 5th Ministerial.
    Km. 0 is a production of IMC-Cancun, a two week IMC
    formed to cover the 5th ministerial.  For more info,
    please visit: www.cancun.indymedia.org.
    Total Running Time: Approx. 1 hr.

    Km. 0 is a benifit for Accion Informative en
    Resistencia (AIRE), a media activism group from
    Mexico City and the San Francisco Independent Media
    Center.
