*******************************

Each spring, the IDF hosts the Human Rights Film Series. Our series was so
popular last spring, we decided to an additional series this fall. This
second film in this fall's film series is "The Revolution Will Not Be
Televised."

Hugo Chavez, elected president of Venezuela in 1998, is a colorful,
unpredictable folks hero, beloved by his nation's working class and a
tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see
him deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential
palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. They
were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power
amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably history's
shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle
and an extraordinary portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits
with making Venezuela "Washington's biggest Latin American headache after
the old standby, Cuba."

The film will be shown with a projector and free snacks will be provided!
Bob Naiman, a longtime activist in the Champaign-Urbana community, will be
facilitating the discussion following the film. Bob is a graduate student
in Economics at the University of Illinois. He is currently an active
member of U of I's Graduate Employees' Organization (GEO). Before that, he
worked with the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington,
D.C.

Next in the fall's Human Rights Film Series, the IDF will show "Lost Boys
of Sudan" on October 13th and "Operation: Veteran Freedom" on October
20th. The films will all begin at 7pm and will be shown at the Illinois
Disciples Foundation.**
