[Peace-discuss] should we bring new Oliver Stone doc re: South America to C-U?

[Robert Naiman]

As I imagine some of you are aware, Oliver Stone has a new documentary
out about South America called "South of the Border." It's a series of
interviews with progressive South American leaders, mixed with some
historical background and interviews with a few analysts. Chavez,
Morales, Correa, Lula, Fernandez, Lugo. If you've seen the Irish
documentary about Venezuela, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,"
you'll recognize some of the footage and ideas.

Friend of C-U Mark Weisbrot is very involved with this project - he
wrote the original script and is currently touring with Oliver to
promote the film.

The film is in commercial distribution. I believe that there is going
to be a Chicago screening in the next few months. We could try to set
up a C-U screening, and if we manage to time it right, I think we
could get Mark to come down and answer questions after the film.

So my query is:

- has anyone dealt with the Art management on a project like this
since they last switched hands? my experience was that the other guy
was very friendly to projects like this.

- if not the Art, are there other alternatives? The Virginia?

- could we get a bunch of people to show up?
