Film and Discussion for December 2007
Sunday
9th December 2007 at 4pm at Heaven's Door Shimokitazawa
This Is What Free
Trade Looks Like
Following Last
months' successful event in which Subcommander Marcos and the
Zapatistas were the focus of attention, Mexico is once again in the
spotlight in the run up to next years' Japan G8.We'll be screening "This is What free Trade Looks Like".
Filmed
in Cancun, Mexico on the
occasion of the 5th WTO ministerial in September 2003. An hour of
footage from the protests, streets, and halls of a troubled place in
troubled times. Designed for use as a companion film to This is What Democracy Looks Like,
this is one of the first activist films to carefully explain how free
trade operates. It does so from the perspective of the Mexican
experience with ten years of NAFTA.
Come Along to
Heaven's Door Shimokitazawa at 4pm on Sunday 9th December for
another event related to capitalism, globalisation and our corporate
world.The film is just 60 minutes long and so there will be plenty of
time for discussion.
Please
note that anyone is welcome to attend our film and
Discussion events
regardless of their political persuasion, except for fascists and those
who espouse racist views.If you'd like to come
along, events are usually on the 2nd Sunday of the month at the same
location in Shimokitazawa.
Usually, a short introduction to the group is given to newcomers and
then a brief introduction to the film follows. After the film there is
a 10-15 minute break after which open democratic discussions follow
once a chair has been appointed. Everyone gets the chance to speak and
to learn from one another.Participants are from a variety of
backgrounds with different political viewpoints and differing degrees
of
knowledge and experience.
If you're interested in social,economic and political issues in general
or want to become an activist of some sort, then this is a good place
to meet people-
everyone is friendly and
welcoming!
