This award winning film documents African struggles vs colonialism. It is based on the writing of Franz Fanon and narrated by Lauryn Hill.
The film:
• Has documentary footage of African anti-imperialist liberation movements.

• Shows rare interviews and footage from Angola to Zimbabwe, to coercive measures used to stop employees from striking in a Liberian town to women’s participation in the struggle for liberation in Mozambique.

• It is timely given the questions movements for change are grappling with now.

The screening is a fundraiser to help get a multi-racial delegation of grassroots women and men to the upcoming international Caring, Survival & Justice vs the Tyranny of the Market, in London, England on November 14-15. It’s rare we have the opportunity as grassroots activists from different movements around the world of coming together to share and plan. We urgently need help with airfares, which are a great financial challenge to a number of the activists who want to take part. The conference is part of the global campaign for a living wage for all workers everywhere including mothers and other caregivers. Sign Petition!

Called by: Global Women’s Strike Omni Collective and Haiti Action Committee; Sponsored by: Marcus Bookstore & KPFA Radio; Endorsers to date: All of Us or None, Chiapas Support Committee, Queer Strike, US PROStitutes Collective
