[Imc-events] PickAxe video screening with director

[Sarah Kanouse]

Independent Filmmaker to present "PickAxe" at the IMC

On Saturday, October 20 at 8 pm, independent filmmaker Tim Ream will present a showing of his documentary PickAxe, a powerful film chronicling the yearlong blockade to protect Warner Creek in the Oregon Cascades.  The area was off-limits to logging until arsonists burned 9,000 acres and the Forest Serivce announced salvage logging plans.  The 95 minute documentary includes scenes form the fire, the building of the blockade, the 75 day hunger strinke, the police raid on the camp, the jailhouse solidarity protest, and ultimately the victory of a people's movement over corporate and political interests.  Proceeds from the film screening will benefit the founding of an IMC in Nigeria.  The film will be screened at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, 218 West Main Street in downtown Urbana.  For more information, contact the UCIMC at 344-8820.
