[Peace] Sreening of film about community radio in Oaxaca Mexico at IMC on Wednesday at 7:00 PM

[Ben Galewsky]

The show committee of the Independent Media Center will be screening a film
that documents the peaceful take-over of TV and radio stations in Oaxaca
Mexico. The film will be shown at 7:00 on Wednesday the 5th of March.

 

The film “Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad” (A Little Bit of So Much Truth) shows
the power of community radio for indigenous people (and why the Mexican
government was so nervous about us driving a radio transmitter through their
country).


“A 90-minute documentary, A Little Bit of So Much Truth captures the
unprecedented media phenomenon that emerged when tens of thousands of school
teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health workers, farmers, and
students took 14 radio stations and one TV station into their own hands,
using them to organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots
struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice.

donation when we pass the hat/jar/cup/whatever around, bring an open mind,
