I consider this to be one of the most important films of our time.
I was just at a screening. The filmmaker was also there. She’s the mother of a former student in the Raza Studies program (the one that was silenced in Tucson).
Banned books and some responses by authors.
In Lak Ech
Tú eres mi otro yo.
Si te hago daño a ti, me hago daño a mí mismo.
Si te amo y respeto, me amo y respeto yo
You are my other me.
If I do harm to you, I do harm to myself.
If I love and respect you, I love and respect myself.
Racism is not over. Sexism is not over. Classism is not over. It is a luxury to ignore the suffering of others.
