Synopsis: During the first week of September 2005, the world watched the footage of Hurricane Katrina's New Orleans victims stranded
on rooftops for days, crowded into the Convention Center and Superdome. Most of them were poor. Fulana asked themselves, What
if the hurricane had hit a wealthy area instead? 'Operation Blue Blood' is a mock Confidential Message from the Bush Administration
to the 'filthy rich fraction of American society,' reassuring them that in case of an emergency, the Top Secret Elite Rescue
Armada would take care of them--in style. Fulana (www.fulana.org) is a Latina video collective from New York City. Through
parody and satire, Fulana explores themes that are relevant to Latino cultures in the U.S., delving into the nuances that
bind our experiences, experimenting with strategies to make visible what we're so often made to read between the lines. Their
work, which consists mainly of mock television commercials, music videos and print advertisements, responds to the ways products
and ideas are marketed to Latinos through the mass media.
