Genoa Anniversary Film Screenings:
The Indymedia screening of: Genoa - Red Zone
Bristol (18th July, Watershed Arts Cnt)
London (24th July, Ritzy Cinema, Brixton) and
Glasgow (28th July - Glasgow Film Theatre)

July 19-24 marks a year since the bloody anti-G8 demonstrations took place in Italy. Indymedia UK presents 'Genoa: Red Zone' - a hard-hitting film which presents the real story of those brutal Italian days of protest. Eight months in the making with a cast of thousands this hour-long documentary does not shy from the truth.

Staggering images of violence provide gritty realism yet the beauty of resistance shines through. Despite the repression, a multitude of voices were heard in Genova: Landless Peruvian peasants stood side by side with Sicilian cheese farmers; national boundaries were overturned as an global body of people demanded a world built on social and environmental equality. That flame - it appears - is impossible to extinguish.
