– Rod Amis, CinemActivist.comA bicycle caravan -- with the theme, "Money or Life" -- travels 500 miles across Europe to join protests in Prague against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The goal is to create a mobile utopian community which will be a living counter-example to the values of these powerful financial institutions. The landscape is beautiful, and bicycles possess their own poetry. But it's not always easy functioning without money. The authorities have their own ideas about policing the intersection of utopia and everyday life. And then there's the matter of shutting down the IMF/World Bank meeting...
Caravan/Prague, a feature-length documentary film, is a first-hand account of this journey and the historic 2000 Prague protests. Filmmaker Zack Winestine rode the entire trip with the caravan, filming from his bicycle as events unfolded. He recounts his hopes, fears, and questions, conveying the experience of participating in a community trying to bring about change that is both visionary and concrete.
The film has just been released to DVD by Cinema Libre Studio. For more info, please visit www.caravanprague.com . And please friend Caravan/Prague on Facebook ! GRAB THE CODE FOR THIS VIDEO BY CLICKING THE MENU BUTTON
