These vital stories will find a global audience and a life could be saved.
Since 2014 four of the artists who were involved in SHD have been working with me on my new feature film When The Storm Fades.
We shot it on Leyte Island in the Philippines, where my Mother was born and raised and where the strongest storm in recorded history made landfall in 2013. It stars real survivors of a climate disaster alongside Canadian Comedy Award Winners Aaron Read and Kayla Lorette. It was Executive Produced by Naomi Klein, The Yes Men and Mark Achbar (director of The Corporation and Noam Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent). Adam Mckay, the Oscar winning writer/director of Anchorman, Step Brothers, The Other Guys and The Big Short has privately screened our film and said: “Wow. That’s a beautiful film. Never seen anything like it.” Last week we had our World Premiere at Mumbai’s Indian Cine Film Festival where we were in competition with 100+ films from 20 countries. The festival jury awarded us the prize for ‘Best Director’.
Now you will have a chance to see it at very limited festival screenings in Vancouver October 4th & 7th @ The Vancouver International Film Festival (Tickets Available Here) and October 11th @ The Famous Players Canada Square Cinema in Toronto (Tickets Available Here). This fall the film will simultaneously be touring international festivals in the UK, Spain, Greece and Brazil.

Dear Friends of SJS,
Support for tent city required now:
POLICE SURROUND NAMEGANS NATION; RESIDENTS CALL FOR SUPPORT
Just days ago, tent city residents were displaced from Regina Park and bravely claimed a new site – the provincially-owned green space at Carey Road and Ravine Way – which they named Namegans Nation. This morning, the Saanich Police showed up in droves, threatening arrest and yet another displacement. Twenty police officers have surrounded the camp, encircling it in police tape, as though to communicate homelessness is a crime.
Residents and organizers and calling for support and witnesses. Please come immediately to Carey Road and Ravine Way. Homelessness is not a crime!
Updates will be posted on Twitter and Facebook when available. https://www.facebook.com/campnamegans/

Paov --
On Monday for-profit clinic CEO Brian Day takes the stand in court against Canadian public health care.
We want to be there to defend care for all, but we need your help.
His testimony is scheduled for five days. We need to be able to be in court to hold Brian Day to account.
Can you chip in $10 to help cover the cost of holding Brian Day to account on the witness stand?
Day will be arguing that doctors should be allowed to charge patients unlimited amounts for all health care procedures - from routine check-ups to hip surgeries.
So far he has been relying on sources like the Fraser Institute, whose research methodology has been routinely blasted in the...

OCCUPY SILICON VALLEY - ACCESSORIZE APPLE STORES!
- Details
- Published on Friday, 07 September 2018 15:17
- Written by editor
For Occupy Silicon Valley, we're going after the BIG FOUR: Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple... with a special prank for each.
Today, our bone to pick is with Apple...
Apple knows not only where you live, but all of the places you go to, through the magical system of location data. Why would they want to know all about that very personal information? To offer you better suited advertisement and make you CONSUME even MORE :)
You can turn off location data on iOS in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
You can also "limit" targeted advertisement: Settings > Privacy > Advertising.
However, Apple always finds its way around to know where you are at every minute of your day, even with your location data turned off, through Wi-Fi spots or traffic GPS.
