the greatest polluter, the greatest creator of refugees,

We all have to care – not just for our own little circle,

"The Black Power Mixtape 1967-75"Directed by Göran Olsson
7:00pm Thursday, February 19BCGEU Hall - 2994 Douglas St. Victoria
Admission by donation
At the end of the 1960’s, numerous Swedish journalists came to the US, drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution. Filming for close to a decade, they gained the trust of many of the leaders of the black power movement – Stoakely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis, and Eldridge Cleaver among them – capturing them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews.
Thirty years later, this lush collection of 16mm film, peppered with footage of Black Panther activities and B-roll images of black America, was found languishing in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and producer Danny Glover bring this mesmerizing footage to light and, integrating audio interviews with prominent African-American artists and...

Subject: Reminder - Amnesty Film on Thursday
Dear People - Just a reminder that we are screening "I Came to Testify" this Thursday Feb 19th at 7 pm at Camosun College, Lansdowne Campus, Young Building, Room 300 (on the third floor). It is a powerful film dealing with a particular town in Bosnia that was ethnically integrated until Bosnian forces decided to use rape as part of their campaign to achieve ethnic cleansing. The survivors told their stories at the International Criminal Court and the Bosnian commander was found guilty of crimes against humanity. Thank you to Andy Chen and Camosun for Social Justice for hosting this event.
Best wishes - Melaney

Dear PAOV, In 2013, just weeks before revelations by Edward Snowden and PFC Chelsea Manning, we released War on Whistleblowers: Free Press and the National Security State.
The bad news: Two years later, the aggressive war on whistleblowers is still being waged. Two weeks ago, Jeffery Sterling, a former CIA officer, was found guilty of 9 criminal counts and is likely on his way to a lengthy prison sentence for telling the truth.
