Clip reel of raw footage / July 2002 Interview with Jesus Tecu Osorio, part 2 of 2
Description | Descripción:
May contain graphic and/or disturbing content. Interview with WITNESS partner Jesús Tecú Osorio by Sam Gregory. Jesús describes the Rio Negro Massacres that occurred in 1982 and the events leading up to the massacres, namely the controversy over construction of the Chixoy Hydroelectric Dam. He speaks about the role of the World Bank and the Bank's responsibility to the victims in Rabinal. He also describes the impact of the violence on the community and current social and political issues in Rabinal. He explains how he is trying to raise money to provide scholarships for rural youth and to build a bilingual technical institute in Rabinal. He talks about the importance of documenting events through video and why it is important that WITNESS maintain archives of the material, given the difficulty of protecting it in Guatemala. He feels that the material needs to be used to educate the youth, so that the atrocities committed in Rabinal will never be repeated.
