The documentary "i" will screen at the Urbana-Champaign Independent  
Media Center
on Wednesday, October 11 at 7pm.

“i” is a feature-length documentary about grassroots media coverage  
of the December 2001 economic collapse and political uprising in  
Argentina. It follows the first year of a news collective in Buenos  
Aires as it struggles to make sense of assassinations, a collapsing  
economy, and a whirlwind social movement.

Along the way it tells the story of the global Indymedia network, the  
world's largest collaboration of of volunteer, freelance and  
unaffiliated media makers.

According to author Naomi Klein, “i" “positively vibrates with the  
energy and creativity of the movement it documents. Beautiful,  
intellectual, riotous, it fits in no box (and no blurb) — just see it!”

The film is the first full-length picture produced on the global  
indymedia network. A reception and discussion with co-director  
Raphael Lyon will follow.

We will be collecting a sliding scale donation of $3-7 to help cover  
the travel expenses of the director.
