The following films will be showing at UCSD's Price Center.
5:00 P.M.: The Shape of Water Through intimate encounters with five very different women in Brazil, India, Jerusalem and Senegal, this film, narrated by Susan Sarandon offers a close look at the far-reaching and vibrant alternatives crafted by women in response to environmental degradation, archaic traditions, lack of economic independence and war.
6:20 P.M. Independent Intervention An award-winning documentary about the U.S. media coverage of the war in Iraq. By focusing on the human costs of war and contrasting the mass medias coverage of the invasion of Iraq with independent reports of the brutal realities on the ground, the film aims to bring awareness to the disparity between the war the American people see through the corporate controlled media and the realities on the ground in Iraq.
7:45 P.M. The Peacekeepers With unprecedented access to the UN Department of Peacekeeping, the film provides an intimate and dramatic portrait of the struggle to save a failed state. Focusing on the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the film cuts back and forth between the UN headquarters in New York and events on the ground in the DRC. In the background, often impinging on peacekeeping decisions, lies the painful memory of Rwanda, the worsening crisis in Iraq, global terrorism, and American hegemony in world affairs.
