Meanwhile, here are a few notes. 11-29-16 Politics/Human Rights News Mexican Musings, Caribbean Winds and Border Destinies As 2016 approaches a tumultuous end, possible changes in the U.S.-Mexico relationship are cooking. The election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, the apparent shelving of the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership fervently supported by the Obama and Pena Nieto administrations and statements from north of the border of cancelling or renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are all generating consternation and introspection in Mexico. Mexican nationalism is stirring, with actors of different political stripes urging a reexamination of U.S.-Mexico relationships, defined by Proceso columnist Jesus Cantu as a “nortedependencia,” or a northern dependence, which put Mexico at the mercy of the economic forces steered by its powerful neighbor across the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo. While such talk is not new, it has taken on a greater urgency with the rise of Trump and his promises to build a giant border wall, deport undocumented immigrants and toss out NAFTA. “There has to be a total rethinking of the root of our nationalism, of our capacity, of our pride..,” economic consultant Rogelio Ramirez de la O told a recent Mexico City business forum.

BMP Films, in association with MTV, produced this biopic written by Academy Award-winner Dustin Lance Black ("Milk"). For more information and to view the movie trailer, please visit www.pedro.mtv.com. In 1994, Zamora captured the hearts of millions as the first-ever openly gay, HIV-positive main character on TV -- on MTV's The Real World: San Francisco. Zamora's time in the house on Lombard Street brought a face to the AIDS crisis. President Bill Clinton has long credited Zamora with personalizing and humanizing the epidemic, and he will introduce Pedro when it makes its world television premiere April 1st. "To this day, Pedro Zamora remains an extraordinary example of what a huge impact one young person can make in our world," President Clinton said. "I'm glad to have known him, and I'm grateful his life has been able to inspire and enrich so many others."
