AFRICA
Presents the recreational dances
performed by men from many tribes who
took work contracts at South African mines.
Dances are performed at the mines and in
the Tribal Trust Lands. Compares the
typical southern African emphasis on
stomping movements with the more
individual step-dances of the northern
Mashona tribes. Working with
ethnochoreologist Nadia Chilkovsky, the
filmmakers have kept the dance
sequences intact and close-ups are
avoided so that the dances can be
analyzed by choreologists.

DEMOCRACIA DEMOCRACIA INDIGENA
INDIGENA
Democracia Indigena examines the rights
revolution of Indian Mexico through the
municipal elections in Huehuetla, Puebla -
the same Totonac Indian community
featured in "The Tree of Life" and "The
Tree of Knowledge". In 1989, the
Huehuetla Totonacs formed the
Organizacion Independiente Totonaca
(OIT), and joined in an electoral alliance
with the Partido de la Revolucion
Democratica to sweep the municipal
elections. During the following nine years,
the OIT and PRD carried out a non-violent
revolution. The visible signs of this
Totonac renaissance are the health posts,
schools, drinking water, and electricity
available to everyone for the first time. But
the real change is in the new
self-confidence and pride of the Totonacs
themselves. Democracia Indigena follows
Cruz Garcia, an "expatriate" Totonac, as
he examines the changes in his homeland.
Opening with the PRD electoral campaign,
Cruz meets with the Totonac mayor and
council, , visits rural projects, talks with his
Totonac family and neighbors, as well as
the parish priest and the mestizo mayoral
candidate of the opposition PRI. With Cruz,
we watch the voting, the vote counting,
and the stunning 3 am victory celebration.
The film concludes with an examination of
the strengths and weaknesses of this
powerful example of democracy in action.
