Although it's split in three parts for easier download, this is actually one continuous piece. Using audio from our own interviews and those done by indymedia folks on the ground in cancun, we've put together this one-hour summary of the WTO and the main issues of Cancun -- ie. why it failed.

September 11th 2003 marks the 30th anniversary of the Chilean coup that toppled Socialist president Salvador Allende. The death of the coveted leader was the start of years of repression of the Chilean people under the Pinochet regime. Chilean exiles came to the US, forming a strong political and artistic presence in the San Francisco Bay area. In this half hour documentary produced by Pauline Bartolone, members of the music ensemble Grupo Raiz reflect on the coup 30 years later, and how their lives as musicians helped form their identities as Chilean exiles in the US.

On September 12, 2003, I interviewed the Co-Founder of Global Exchange, Kevin Danaher, at the NGO Forum in Cancun, Mexico, while the WTO convened for the third day of its ministerial. He spoke about the alliance between NGOs and Third World governments and explained why civil society is winning the fight against the WTO. [8 minutes 21 seconds]

Thanks for uploadin this to radio.indymedia. I'm considering broadcasting the interview during the Illinois Labor Hour this morning.
