In October of 2009, a delegation of human rights observers organized by Casa Morazan from
Chicago visited Honduras to witness the popular resistance to the coup
d'etat. It was comprised of delegates from various local organizations such as the 8th Day
Center for Justice, Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin
America, La Voz de Los de Abajo (the Voice of Those Below), South Side
Together Organizing for Power, Teachers for Social Justice and
independent journalists from groups such as ChicagOtra and Radios
Populares.
We interviewed many leaders of the movement, and recorded
abuses against them perpetrated by the de-facto government and their
military apparatus. The video is a short summary of the spirit of the
resistance to the historical moment: presumably the last week of a
military coup d'etat. Expect to see a trailer for our feature-length
treatment of this subject coming out in the near future.
