A profile of Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s new president. In the last 40 years, one in five Salvadorans has moved to the United States, with half of them undocumented. In the last year, more than 90,000 Salvadorans have been apprehended at the U.S. border. The 38-year old ‘millennial president’ campaigned in blue jeans in an effort to appear as an ‘outsider.’ After his election in June, Bukele’s main goal has been to rid El Salvador of violent gangs who control the country, which he feels will greatly boost the economy. Bukele says he will not negotiate with gangs, fearing it will give them legitimacy. He has cracked down on the gangs with his ‘territorial control plan,’ which Bukele credits for the steep drop in homicides. Bukele feels crime is the biggest barrier to restoring the economy. Bukele has been criticized for working with President Trump, an alliance he believes is crucial to restoring the country. El Salvador’s murder rate is the highest for any country not at war. Includes an interview with Pastor Nelson Moz, who offers sanctuary to reformed gang members.

The New Transnational Activism, first published in 2005, shows how even the most prosaic activities can assume broader political meanings when they provide ordinary people with the experience of crossing transnational space. This means that we cannot be satisfied with defining transnational activists through the ways they think.

Filmed on location at La Plata, Castro's former guerrilla headquarters- the first time any foreign film crew had been permitted there - the documentary examines the origins of Castro's revolution, and its ultimate successes and failures. It places U.S.-Cuban relations within the context of history, dating back to the Spanish-American War in 1898. The documentary goes on to paint a canvas of everyday Cuban life. It contrasts the successes of Cuba - medical care, education and housing - with the often repressive political measures implemented by the Castro government. We hear from Cuban artists, State Department officials, exiled writers, and Fidel Castro himself. We visit the Psychiatric Hospital, the Women's Prison, and a library to see what books are available. This film does full justice to its complex subject. It is neither a rationale for Communist Cuba nor a political tool for Cuban exiles. It will interest audiences of all political persuasions.
