28 de marzo – To Have and Have Not, @ 7:00 PM, Hammer Museum’s Billy Wilder Theater, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard at Westwood Boulevard, $8/$10.

5 de marz0 – ESLABONES: State Terrorism and Resistance in Argentina @ 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM, UCLA Haines Hall 279, FREE.

Micro-reseña: One of the most profound and moving events I’ve attended. Stunningly candid and thoughtful presentation from three women who lived through Argentina’s military dictatorship.

3 de marzo – The Mexican Revolution at 100: “The Legacy and Promise of the Mexican Revolution” – A lecture by Mr. Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, founder of the Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) and former governor of the state of Michoacán. @ 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM, UCLA Kerchoff Hall, Charles Young Salon, FREE.

Micro-reseña: Informative but painfully boring. An hour of detailed historical facts read from a script with very little editorial from Mr. Cárdenas.

24 de febrero – Condor. A film by Roberto Mader with music by Victor Biglion @ 7:30, UCLA James Bridges Theater, FREE.

Micro-reseña: The film is worth seeing for the raw information contained in the interviews with those who perpetrated and suffered from political persecution in Latin America during years of “Operation Condor”. However, there was a noticeable aimlessness, lack of pacing, and overindulgence in artistic digressions that sapped the film of its potential impact.
