The Burgos Working Group for Fair trade has organized a documentary cinema cycle for the Thursday of May in the afternoon, as a novelty of the program that will raise awareness throughout the month about the importance of trade being “more fair, more equitable and more respectful of human rights.” This was stated this morning the responsible councilor, Mila del Campo, in the presentation of the planned activities, together with the president of the Coordinator of NGO, Andrés Rodríguez Amayuelas, who stressed that this initiative neither criticizes nor intends to face the city’s trade, but that it is an alternative model and, to be, complementary.
The novelty of the program is the cycle, of four documentaries, which will be held every Thursday afternoon at the Solidarity Forum (7:00 p.m.). The first will be screened this week, Everyone’s lightby Miquel Carrillo, who will participate in the posterior colloquium. Next week, May 15, it will be the time for The illusion of abundanceby Erika González and Matthieu Lietaert; By May 22 it has been left Dirty clothesby Félix Zurita. The cycle will end on May 29, with Tekuan, Guardians Xinca del Agua.
