The Giant Awakens: In 2006, a historic mobilization for
immigrant rights swept the USA as millions took the streets. Mainstream news
media predictably covered the marches with a mix of surprise, ignorance, and
racism, yet grassroots media activists were there to document the voices and
the stories behind this mass movement.
¡Gigante: Despierta! is a DVD compilation of compelling short films from all around the country, due to hit the streets in the weeks before Mayday 2007. Shot, edited, and brought together by a network of independent video activists, graphic designers, community organizers, musicians, and immigrant rights activists, it is a collective memory and a tool to inspire action this MayDay 2007, when the Giant will raise its voice again to say: we are one people, without borders. We are here, and we are here to stay!
