Of course, this is driven by the event of the prison escape, not a 'history' of the MRTA as such (in the way that Girls to the Front is a history of the Riot Grrrl movement). Lately, I think about prisons and what I learn about them in terms of my 'outsideness' and how that influences my own judgments about what is 'right' or 'wrong' as conditions of imprisonment. I just watched Hunger, and wondered all the way through: why would a hunger strike influence the administration to change anything? If prison staff would enforce unfair conditions, why would they care if the prisoners try to starve themselves? ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Tunnel to Canto Grande tells the dramatic story of how the Peruvian Tupac Amuru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) tunneled into an "escape-proof" penitentiary, Canto Grande, to free forty-eight political prisoners on July 9, 1990. The prisoners escaped through the tunnel without a single casualty and eluded the authorities. Because of their world-wide reputation as writers of testimony, the authors, Alegría and Flakoll, were invited by MRTA leaders to write the exclusive story of the escape. At no small risk to their own safety, they spent a week in the most hunted for safe house in Lima, Peru, interviewing the participants in the project and the escapees. The resulting narrative is filled with suspense, drama, and humor. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
