*_LEFT FILM NIGHT: DOUBLE FEATURE!_*

Centre for Socialist Education, on Unceded Coast Salish Territories
706 Clark Drive, Vancouver (corner of Clark & E. Georgia)/*

*_INVASION_*

In this era of "reconciliation", Indigenous land is still being taken at 
gunpoint. INVASION is a new film about the Unist'ot'en Camp, Gidimt'en 
checkpoint, and the larger Wet'suwet'en Nation standing up to the 
Canadian government and corporations who continue colonial violence 
against indigenous people. This powerful 18 minute film covers many of 
the events of the last year. The Unist’ot’en Camp has been a beacon of 
resistance for nearly 10 years. It is a healing space for Indigenous 
people and settlers alike, and an active example of decolonization. The 
violence, environmental destruction, and disregard for human rights 
following TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) / Coastal GasLink’s interim 
injunction has been devastating to bear, but this fight is far from over.

A collection will be taken to contribute to the camp and its legal 
challenges.

*_COCALERO_*

Dir. Alejandro Landes, 94 minutes, Argentina, 2007, English subtitles

As right-wing forces with powerful imperialist backing continue their 
efforts to remove Evo Morales from office, this film remains highly 
relevant. The documentary follows Morales, an Aymara Indian and trade 
union leader, as he travels through the Andean country of Bolivia in his 
historic 2005 bid to be elected the first indigenous president in the 
Americas. Cocalero shows Morales on the campaign trail, from formal 
fundraising dinners to mass rallies, as well as his personal side, 
speaking about his life and the reasons for his entry into the political 
arena.


Left Film Nights are presented by the Centre for Socialist Education, 
Young Communist League, and the Vancouver East Club and UBC Club of the 
Communist Party of Canada.
