From the teemingsquats of mid-90's East Berlin, to intrigue in the Zapatista AutonomousZone, a Croatian Rainbow Gathering on the heels of the G8 protests inGenoa, mutiny on the high seas, the quixotic ambitions of a Kurdishguerilla camp, the contradictions of Cuba, and the neo-liberalnightmare of post-war(s) Central America we see everywhere a world influx, struggling to be reborn.
