In Spanish class today, we talked about how we are getting to see an incredible period of history as all students nationwide in Chile continue to protest for cheaper education. Students are still not going to class and I understand their efforts at trying to get their point across and standing up for what they believe in, but they are holding themselves back academically as this year will have to be repeated. At the end of class, we watched this really well done YouTube video made by a student majoring in film studies right here in Arica. There are some great shots in it of the city and it helps me gain a more dynamic understanding of the protests than by just reading about it in the newspaper.
For more information on the protests, check out the Wikipedia page on the protests.
Hope you enjoy,
Marisa
