Puppetista Demonstration SOA Protest 2008

This is the Puppetista demonstration at the School of the Americas Protest, 23 November 2008.

The big black & gray puppet represents the forces of imperialism and is covered with words like "death", "misery", "poverty", etc. in English & Spanish. Before this video, the Empire puppet marched down the protest grounds toward the stage and was stomping on signs that read "mujerismo/female power", "poder indigena/native power", and "worker power."

Then, the red, yellow, green, and blue puppets, representing the forces of change, come to the rescue and destroy the forces of Empire.
