ROCLA invites our Web visitors to take advantage of free tickets to The 2005 Labor Film Series at the Dryden Theater at 900 East Avenue, in Rochester, New York.

ROCLA night on FRIDAY, 14 October. 8 p.m. will feature the film BOLIVIA. It tells the touching story of an immigrant worker in Argentina--- recalling the situation of immigrant workers here in the US but presenting a whole new dimension of a familiar situation in this age of globalization.

BOLIVIA
(Adrián Caetano, Argentina 2001, 75 min.,
Spanish with subtitles)
With his wife and children 1,500 miles away, a Bolivian cook working illegally in a Buenos Aires greasy spoon forms an alliance with his co-worker, a sympathetic waitress. Their friendship and gradual romance, however, are not enough to protect them from the harsh realities of living and working in a city facing dire poverty and unemployment issues. This modestly budgeted but emotionally powerful drama is a prime example of an exciting new wave of Argentinian cinema.

Contact ROCLA steering committee member Marilyn Anderson and mention that you read about it on this Web site and receive a free ticket. You may use the ticket for any film in the series. It is a terrific list of films so try to come to many or all of them!
