Coups and congresses: contemporary Latin American democracies

In continuation of our Friday night films, we will be hosting an evening of discussion on contemporary Latin American democracies. We will first have a discussion of the recent (rather anti-climactic) coup attempt in Ecuador, and the social forces which supported and opposed it. Afterwards, as participation in the international day of action in solidarity with Honduras, against last year's coup on 28 June, we will be watching "Who is afraid?" The film covers the mass opposition to the junta.
