16:00-17:30 Salón Zafiro Film / Película Paraíso for Sale / Paraíso en Venta
Presenter: Ana K. Spalding
Synopsis: What price would you pay for paradise? And who would you be willing to take it from? The pristine archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama, attracts retirees and developers from the U.S. with its crystal-clear waters and its island culture. In Paraíso for Sale, filmmaker, Anayansi Prado, returns to her homeland to document the effects the fast-growing migration is having on the local community.

This engaging and revealing documentary tells the personal stories of the people who call this area home and would like to keep it that way. From an American couple who’ve invested not just in their home but in their Panamanian community to a local businessman turned political hopeful and an indigenous leader fighting for his land, the characters and stories in Paraíso for Sale speak to the larger global issue of communities, new and old, under siege from faceless corporations.

Paraíso for Sale explores issues of modern day colonialism, residential tourism, global gentrification and reverse migration, by revealing that immigration between Latin America and the US is not just a one-way street. [http://paraisoforsale.impactofilms.com/synopsis.html]
