for the third time today i post this invitation to a film.................................why does indymedia keep removing it?????????????
You are warmly invited to a screening of *‘Those Who Dance’* a film
about Rossport, Ogoniland and Imagination by Mayyasa Al-Malazi and
Camilla Cancantata
At *The **London** Voluntary Action Resource Centre*
356 Holloway Rd, N7 (next to Waitrose. Nearest tube Holloway Rd)
on *Sunday 17th December*
Doors open 2.30. *Screening at 3.00*. Discussion afterwards
Everyone welcome. Donations towards screening costs gratefully received
*’Those Who Dance’* tells the story of a small community in Rossport,
Co. Mayo, Ireland, who have resisted Shell's attempts to construct a
high pressure gas pipeline and refinery across their land, which would
have potentially devastating environmental and social consequences. The
film compares their situation to that of the Ogoni people of the Niger
Delta, where Ken Saro-Wiwa and nine others were murdered in 1996 because
of their non-violent opposition to Shell's oil extraction operations and
gas flaring.
Shell found in the people of Mayo a culture which speaks of community
not commodity, of interaction not extraction. The film offers a powerful
critique of corporate practice and philosophy, and challenges viewers to
consider the impacts of the oil industry throughout the world, now that
the reality of climate change is widely accepted.
