1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:05,900
History shows that for southern countries

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,200
History show that for southern countries

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:15,000
export-oriented agriculture has failed.

4
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
140 Organizations world-wide

5
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:50,900
200 million members

6
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,900
The transnational corporations

7
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,600
and the subservience of our governments,

8
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:10,900
lead to a dangerous food dependence.

9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,900
They decided to import food items

10
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,900
and against local production by peasants

11
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
of produce the populace needs.

12
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,900
We are many and we have to survive.

13
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,900
They are causing the peoples great harm.

14
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,900
They want to wipe out the peoples.

15
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,900
We don't want any more deception.

16
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,400
We don't want the gov't and land owners

17
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:25,500
to muck around with us any longer.

18
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,600
We planted lots, sweet potatoes, pineapple...

19
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,600
we weren't lacking anything.

20
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:27,600
Now we have nothing to eat,

21
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:35,000
since they planted the eucalyptus forests.

22
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,900
Peasants of the South   worldwide

23
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,400
are better organized now than ever before.

24
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,400
The 1st int'l organization: La Via Campesino.

25
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:19,900
La Via Campesion is the vanguard

26
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,900
of the movement critical of globalization.

27
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,900
It is a voice of peasants world-wide,

28
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,900
who say "It is enough!"

29
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,900
The peasant movement suggests

30
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,900
sovereignty regarding provisions;

31
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,900
and small family farms

32
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,900
as the basis of rural development.

33
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,900
Southern countries must be able to

34
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,900
refuse our subsidized exports,

35
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,900
to develop their own farming,

36
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,900
to feed themselves self-reliantly.

37
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,900
Peasants, farmhands, landless, 

38
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,900
indigenous people, fishers
and womens groups

39
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,900
world-wide have joined forces

40
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,900
in La Via Campesina. They fight for

41
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,900
dignified lives of rural populations.

42
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,900
Many cultures join to fight the destruction

43
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,900
of small subsistence farming

44
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,900
by agrobusiness and neoliberal politics.

45
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,900
They demand free access to 

46
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,900
and communal control of lands,

47
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,900
water and seeds and

48
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,900
comprehensive agrarian land reforms.

49
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:25,000
April 17 is int'l action day of Via Campesina!
