6:30pm Film Showing on the Uprising in Oaxaca, Mexico - Food: Light supper will be provided
Location: Ecumenical Center, 921 Church St, Ann Arbor
Film Showing: Un Poquito De Tanta Verdad (A Little Bit of So Much Truth)- Ecumenical Center and International Residence, 921 Church St, Ann Arbor- 6:30 pm-
In the summer of 2006, a broad-based, non-violent, popular uprising exploded in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Some compared it to the Paris Commune, while others called it the first Latin American revolution of the 21st century. But it was the people's use of the media that truly made history in Oaxaca. A 90-minute documentary, A Little Bit of So Much Truth captures the unprecedented media phenomenon that emerged when tens of thousands of school teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health workers, farmers, and students took 14 radio stations and one TV station into their own hands, using them to organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice.
This showing is free and open to the public. Light supper will be provided. For details call 734-663-1870, or email chuck@icpj.net .
