[IMC-bristol] Cube filmz

[anarchist606 at hushmail.com]

I do.  

Made contact with a woman in Bristol who has made a shit load of documentaries
about various issues.  She's also written books on the issues and is
willing to come and introduce the films and chat on the night.  We could
put on a film a month!!!!

The films are:

The Diamond Empire - an investigation shot in six continents and shown
as a Frontline special in the US  and on BBC2 - then suppressed by the
BBC - denied to South African and Namibian TV despite never being found
libellous or inaccurate.  Sha also wrote the book Glitter and Greed,
about this.

Aboriginal Film -  shot on a shoestring but which won
a Best Documentary Nomination - had an Aboriginal co-director and co
producer and the film was approved by the Aboriginal community prior
to release...Then road showed around the remotest communities.

Mad Cow - originally a Dispatches for Channel 4 telling a story like
that of the Mad Cow - on vaccination and monkey viruses - for it told
how tens of millions of vaccine doses given out in the UK contained a
monkey virus contaminant that is now linked to many different human cancers...
- but Channel 4 put on the film the weekend before Christmas and gave
it as an exclusive to the Daily Mail - that dropped it at the last moment
as it had been scheduled too near to Christmas and was an unseasonal
story!


What do you'all think?
