The Nica Greentruck Project (NGP) is an international solidarity effort between Evergreen students and Nicaraguan farmers cooperating to combat poverty and build local food economies in Nicaragua, by creating a farmer-to-farmer, person to person exchange of information and technology on renewable energy (biofuels) transportation.

The Benefit for NGP will include:
* The Nicaraguan film "El Tigre Suelto y El Burro Amarrado" (The Tiger on the Loose & The Tied-up Donkey), a documentary about CAFTA and its reality for small farmers. The title is a metaphor for U.S. neoliberal trade policy (the tiger on the loose) attacking the common Latino farmer (the tied-up donkey). Spanish with English subtitles. One hour running time.
*A community teach-in, including Q&A, will follow the film.
