Film Showing: Do Not Resist @ Rafael Film Center
Oct 9 @ 5:45 pm – 6:45 pm

A message from Kevin Pina: Many of you are aware of my work in Haiti and the documentaries I produced about the struggle for justice by the Haitian people. While reviewing footage from the spectacle of violence created by the Oakland Police Department against Occupy Oakland protesters, I was often reminded of experiences in Haiti where I saw US Marines, and later UN military forces, draw their guns on those protesting against the 2004 coup. Many times a brutal Haitian police blatantly gunned people down in broad daylight in their … Continued
