LATIN AMERICAN SCREENING TOUR
Every September, activists in sixteen Latin American Countries urge their governments to consider decriminalizing abortion.  Particiating countries include: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

In Mexico, a special invitational screening of FROM DANGER to DIGNITY hosted by GIRE was held in the Cineteca Nacional. After the film, there was a reception for key government officials and others involved in women's rights. This screening was timely, as it dovetailed with an open discussion of abortion between the government, the Church and the people of Mexico.
