In 1954 America overthrew the democratic government of Guatemala.
In Nov 1950 Jacobo Arbenz won the Guatemalan elections with 65% of the vote! The democratically elected leader was inaugarated on March 15 1951.
Arbenz was a Capitalist Liberal Reformist who implemented social programs for the poor. In June 1952 he issued 'Decree 900', expropriating uncultivated land from large plantations, paying for it with Govt. bonds & renting it to the poor. Even Arbenz gave up his own land.
In the 1950s only 2.2% of the people owned 70% of arable land. Even the World Bank issued a report recommending many of Arbenz's policies.
In March 1953 Arbenz expropriated 209,842 acres of land from the United Fruit Company of America. The Govt. offered $627,572 to UFC, the declared tax value of the land.

This is a short, short movie created by myself and others (see credit listing)... when taking a class at Full Sail somewhat lightly. The idea was about this guy surfing the TV channels, first seeing a commercial for Full Sail and then flipping to an old black-and-white French film with all the possible cliches we could think of; the tilted hat, a mustache, smoking, tears, roses, a broken hart and finally what's more French than a mime!?
Sometimes I feel that the trailer (another of My Videos) is almost better than the "full feature" - awkward.
