movie screening and discussion
People without personal connections to the area usually have to rely on the media and the perception of outside political groups when learning about struggles abroad. In our reception of the sources available to us, we often try to form an “objective” perspective and forget that we see things through a filter of our local political schema. We listen to established “experts” and don’t see our prejudice stemming from colonial/imperal perspectives.

After short pause we want to start a discussion about the movies at 7pm, if you have seen the movies before you can come directly to discussion round.
