LIBERTARIAN BOOK CLUB / ANARCHIST FORUM

----------------------> People's Media Takeover in Oaxaca: A Screening of "Un Poquito De Tanta Verdad" The November Anarchist Forum >>>On Tuesday, November 13, at 7:30pm, the Libertarian Book Club's
Anarchist Forum will present a screening of the new documentary
"Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad (a little bit of so much truth)" by Corrugated
Films and Mal De Ojo TV. "When the people of Oaxaca decided they'd had
enough of bad government, they didn't take their story to the media...
They TOOK the media."

>>>>>In the summer of 2006, a broad-based, non-violent, popular uprising
exploded in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Some compared it to
the Paris Commune, while others called it the first Latin American revolution
of the 21st century. But it was the people's use of the media that truly made
history in Oaxaca. This 90-minute documentary 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.

>>>>>After the screening, the Forum will be open to discussion.

>>>>>The event will take place at The Living Theatre, 21 Clinton Street,
Manhattan (just south of Houston St) (212-792-8050). Coming from uptown,
take the F or V train to "2nd Avenue" (exit front of train on 1st Ave,
