Subject: TLC documentaries on line - can't miss them all.

Hello everyone,

As I have been sending you a couple of links to informed you about our
documentaries on the web. This email is to give you summary of all of our
documentaries that are on the web right now. For the past week, TLC has been
uploading 6 documentaries on the web  http://vimeo.com/user4020333. Most of
our documentaries are related to globalisaiton, poverty, migrant workers and
collective bargaining right of the workers and working class.

All of our documentaries have been filming, editing and directing by TLC
staff, especially myself who is very passionate on popular education
techniques and tools, and has been using lost of films and simple power
points in my presentation  and education sessions. all  of our documentaries
have been produced on a very limited, if not zero, budget, so in general  it
is still very much immature documentaries, but they have lots of stories to
tell.

Its also might  be helpful for you to understand the struggle of the working
class and migrant workers  in Thailand and also the world through TLC's
cameras.

We can only upload three documentaries per week and so far we have uploaded
six documentaries and their description is below. Next week we will upload
documentaries of the struggle of industries workers union in Thailand; food
industry, union busting in the electronic and garment industry.

For now please enjoy watching our documentaries.

In solidarity,

Lek....

24 Hours in Peru. http://vimeo.com/12496883
This documentary was filmed within 24 hours, thus there is limitation of the
footage, however, the story of Peru's workers tell the tale of how is the
global food supply chain in practice - the food to be fed only those who can
buy - not the workers who produce them.

After the meeting of Global network in Lima, from 22-24 September 2007, Yan
from the Solidar and I decided to take a one day trip to Ica, an exporting
food producing town, 300 kms south of Peru.

The gab between rich and poor is shattering,
the poverty unimaginable.
the spirit of struggle,
the honesty and friendliness of the peopel of Peru
unforgettable.

This films is viewing of testimony of four Thai women migrant workers in
Taiwan working as domestic and factory workers.

These workers saidthat 'they have bought lotteries for 150,000 -190,000 Baht

With the support of 11.11.11 and Oxfam Solidarity, during 25 November 2008
through to March 2009, the Thai Labour Campaign (TLC) organised an
International Labour Film Festival caravan to 10 places all around Thailand,
including industrial zones, villages and temples and also the Chiangmai
University campus.

This film, around the activity of the film festival, shows how beautiful are
the people, culture and landscape of 'ISAN' in the northeast.

Thai Labour Campaign journey to connect with Cambodia and Vietnam.
http://vimeo.com/12699797

This is a film of a dream come true. For years the TLC staff had been
waiting to be able to go, with unions friends, to share experiences, learn
and build solidarity with the people of Indo-China - outside Thailand. From
August 12 - 24, 2008 we travelled from Bangkok by minibus to Siem Riep in
Cambodia, by boat to Phenom Penh and by public bus to Ho Chi Minh City, with
many meetings with unions and NGOs along the road.
Many thanks to Diakonia, Action Aid and Oxfam Solidarity for all their
support.
