Subject: Re: Andy Stern and Ana Nogueira -- December 15th Visit.

Hi everyone,

Longtime Indymedia activists Ana Nogueira and Andy Stern are on a national tour
to show Samidoun, their documentary film and photo-montage of the recent war in
Lebanon.  This multi-media presentation looks absolutely awesome and we're lucky
enough to have them coming through Urbana on December 15th.  Unfortunately, I
will be out of state until the night of the 15th or the 16th, so we need someone
to organize putting on a showing of their work at the IMC.  It would be really
great to host them.

Let me know or just drop a line to their tour manager, Jen Angel
<jen at clamormagazine.org>.

I hope someone can do this.

In solidarity,

--Sascha

P.S.  Here's more info:

Hey Sascha and Faith!

I'm working with Ana and Andy on a tour in the Midwest of their
presentation about their time in Lebanon during the war (the
description is below). They have one open day and would LOVE for
it to be in Champaign/Urbana. Do you think you could help set
something up?

It would be great to have Ana and Andy here!  What date(s) are we
talking about?  I'm in-and-out of city, state, and country a lot,
but hopefully we can set up a date when I'm around.

Lemme know,

--Sascha

Please let me know,

*Samidoun: a multi-media journey through the 34 day war in
Lebanon and it's aftermath*
*By Ana Nogueira and Andrew Stern*

Samidoun is a multimedia presentation of the recent war in
Lebanon and its aftermath, produced by award-winning independent
reporters Ana Nogueira and Andrew Stern. Interweaving still
photography, audio and video, Samidoun is a uniquely intimate
look at the human cost of this conflict that took the lives of
over 1200 people, wounded thousands more, and displaced over one
million.

Democracy Now! correspondent Ana Nogueira and Redux Pictures
photojournalist Andrew Stern traveled to Lebanon while the war
raged, but stayed on for five weeks post ceasefire to document
the aftermath of the war. Their work takes us to scenes of
horrific bombings in the southern suburbs of Beirut to the ruins
of Southern Lebanon's Bint Jbail, Aita Chaab and Qana, from
tobacco fields littered with Israeli cluster bombs to the oil
slicked Lebanese coastline. Featuring interviews with survivors
and families of those not so fortunate, Samidoun provides a rare
glimpse into the hearts of ordinary people whose lives have been
changed forever, and ultimately reveals the steadfast
determination of the Lebanese people to survive and rebuild their
country in the face of unimaginable violence and national anguish.

* Samidoun translates from Arabic to "steadfastness", or "those who stay."

*Andrew Stern *
