"Mesoamerica is not for sale" presents an insiders view of the struggle in south-southwest Mexico and Central America to protect natural resources and maintain cultural autonomy in the face of growing threats from neo-liberal economic policies and transnational corporations.
Interviews with activists, community organizers and farmers reveal the spiritual importance of water, corn and land- the very resources being threatened by short-sighted neo-liberal economic policies and relentless globalization. This film provides information on the history of the region to help the viewer understand the historical roots of this modern struggle.
Important viewing for students of history, economics and politics and for anyone concerned about the negative effects of globalization and the draining of resources from the developing world.
