Benefit Screening of "Granito: How to Nail a Dictator"

November 16th, doors at 6pm - film at 7pm, $10
IndieScreen CineClub in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
285 Kent Avenue at South 2nd Street (see map/directions below)

As former wartime general Otto Perez Molina is poised to be elected Guatemala's next president on November 6th, CALA teams up with Skylight Pictures to present Pamela Yates' latest documentary: "Granito: How to Nail a Dictator." The film, which spans four decades, intimately focuses on the Mayans' search for justice following the civil war and work to hold former generals (such as Perez Molina) accountable for the genocide of over 200,000 innocent. We will be joined by the film's editor, Peter Kinoy. Beer & pupusas will be available for purchase.
