Welcome to Pass Me the Map! It is an honor to present you this award-winning, bilingual
documentary, Pass Me the Map. Pass Me the Map premiered in 2009 and has been featured in the Artivist Film Festival,
the Paso Robles Film Festival and has toured throughout California, Mexico and Central America. Three young filmmakers drive the the Pan-American Highway to investigate the effects of the Plan Puebla Panama (PPP).
The three cross the border into Mexico “and beyond”. The PPP is a multinational development
plan to build roads, dams and canals through Mexico and Central America. It creates infrastructure for corporations
to access natural and human resources in the region. Local communities unite in resistance to promote alternative development. Pass Me the Map weaves vibrant and intimate images with
an original soundtrack along the cities and countryside of the Pan-American Highway. The soundtrack features:
Fuga, Department of Eagles, honeybird, Jahmila, Amber Mendez and Joselyn Wilkinson. Pass Me the Map is about the sharing of information from North to
South - and South to North. The video is accessible to both Spanish and English-speaking audiences. Directed by Spencer Wilkinson, Pass
Me the Map is available for screenings at film festivals, organizations or schools. The film is
a crucial source of information about current struggles in Mexico and Central America. It presents important development
conflicts in the region, including the takeover of the Chixoy Dam in Guatemala. Contact spencerwilkinson@gmail.com
