  Dear Friends,

  "INCIDENT AT OGLALA: 
  The Leonard Peltier Story"

  Friday, December 3, 2004, 7:00PM    

  Film: "Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story" 

  (93 min, Robert Redford & Michael Apted, 1992)  

  Incident at Oglala is a thought-provoking documentary examining the trials of three Native Americans after the 1975 shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. After two members of AIM (American Indian Movement) were acquitted on grounds of self-defense, the third, Leonard Peltier, was tried separately and convicted of double homicide. Peltier's lawyers claim that the FBI saw AIM as a conspiracy against the government and, after losing the first case, manufactured evidence against Peltier. 

   

  OPEN DISCUSSION FOLLOWS   

  FREE - Donations Appreciated.

  FILM SNEAK PREVIEW - "ARGENTINA: HOPE IN HARD TIMES" .

  University of Washington, Kane Hall #210

  Don't miss this incredible film AND DISCUSSION - So relevant now!

  At the end of 2001, after years as the poster child for corporate globalization, the Argentine economy collapsed.  This film is about what happened next. 

  'Que se vayan todos!' Chants echo off the skyscrapers, burst through the plazas, and clamor down the streets of Buenos Aires. 'Throw them all out!' shout legions of frustrated Argentine housewives, students, lawyers, weaving their way through the city one summer evening, banging on pots and pans. These are their inspiring stories - of a failed economy and distrusted politicians, of heartache and hard times, of a resurgence of grass roots democracy, and of an irrepressible spirit of community - told in colorful, resonant detail. 
  More info: www.movingimages.org<http://www.movingimages.org/>. 



  Riddle:

  Q: What's the difference between Argentina and the United States?

  A: Three years.    

      ...so pay attention

   

  Sunday, Dec. 5 @ 6:00 PM

  BALLARD MOVIE NIGHT: "AMANDLA!"  

  Trinity United Methodist Church  at NW 65th & 23rd NW, Ballard, Seattle

  The power of song to communicate, motivate, console, unite and, ultimately, beget change: that ideal, gloriously realized, lies at the heart of director Lee Hirsch's inspiring feature film documentary "Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony".  More info: http://www.amandla.com/ppress/index.php?pid=35<http://www.amandla.com/ppress/index.php?pid=35> 

  Potluck, discussion and community-building will follow the film. Bring your ideas for actions to take and take inspiration from others!  Our purpose in facilitating discussion after the film is to provide a venue for community-building which is a hallmark of current Ballard events. We hope to encourage people to collaborate on proposals for actions to take in response to the challenges that our films present. Please come and participate in building a more positive future for us all! (Held Monthly.)
