	"Gringothon"

During the invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2003, a misplaced gringo in Mexico City helplessly watches the atrocities through the lens of Mexican television news. His despair turns to hope when he observes some of the millions of Mexico City street vendors who fight their own daily "war" for survival on the streets. Newly inspired by their tenacity, he takes to the streets of Mexico's capital as the personification of all gringo stereotypes, but with a twist; he sells chewing gum and washes windows in the streets of Mexico City to raise money for a guerrilla army to take out Bush.

"Gringothon" is an expression of protest from an expatriate living abroad, and also a subversive meditation on the complexities of "gringo" identity in an American continent whose millions of inhabitants misunderstand each other.
