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

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