Press release:Activist News Network to be launched across Britain
Undercurrents contact- 01792 455900
For immediate release
For 10 years, the award winning media organisation Undercurrents has embedded video journalists among some of the most radical protest groups. Britain's latest - and most innovative - news provider, the Undercurrents News Network (UNN) will reveal their dramatic stories.
The first edition of this unique video news service shows how Hollywood star Martin Sheen supported bomber-bashing Christians. Also included: how student protests increased the wages of low paid workers, bringing one of the wealthiest corporations to its knees. Laughs are guaranteed when George and Tony's special relationship is revealed during a hilarious musical parody.
Undercurrents News Network seeks out and distributes cutting edge documentaries and animations made by various producers overlooked by TV broadcasters.
In our music section, poet Taalam Acey voices his concerns about how his fellow black artists are being encouraged to promote gun crime and violence.
Our News Spinner reports how an oil corporation was successfully stopped from supporting the brutal Burmese military government. Our investigation team shows dramatic video images of how desperate Iraqi and Afghani refugees escaped from a detention camp in Australia.
UNN co-producer Zoe Broughton said:
"Undercurrents News Network will provide an outlet for views rarely expressed in the mainstream media. While the Bush administration's 'War on Terror' continues, we will report on the civilians who are suffering the most. Or when a greedy developer tries to destroy a local beauty spot, our camcorders will provide a witness."
