"Gigante: Despierta! (Giant: Awake!)" is a compilation DVD that contains a number of video segments concerning the historic 2006 mobilization for immigrant rights that swept across the US. While mainstream news media predictably covered the marches with a mix of surprise, ignorance, and racism, grassroots media activists were there to document the voices and stories behind this mass movement. PepperSpray covered a number of stories during this time, and now we bring you some from the DVD "Gigante: Despierta!" We contributed footage to this collaborative project. Those who are involved in organizing around these issues, as well as those who want to know more about the issues are encouraged to check out this compilation DVD. To find it, go to the website: www.gigantedespierta.org. Selections featured: -intro -- a good montage -Brian Liola, "Si Se Puede" -- takes you into the lives of two immigrant brothers. These are real people, living real lives, and in their stor
y you can see much of the larger issues. -Daniela Capistrano "Cazador" by Pistolera -- a great music video -Sourcecode Immigration Focus--Sourcecode -- Sourcecode is an indy project associated with Free Speech TV, that turns in consistently high quality work. Here they look at the immigration issue. Pepperspray Productions formed shortly after the WTO protests in Seattle, in response to the Independent Media Center's call, "don't hate the media, be the media". We believe that the Corporate Media is not telling us the whole story, and that the people must make our own media if we want our voices to be heard. www.indymedia.orghttp://www.newsreal.indymedia.org This video was originally shared on blip.tv by Pepperspray Productions with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license.
