Congratulations to Grass-Roots Media Project as it Celebrates 1st Birthday

The Bath Bomb Editorial Collective write; To celebrate our first anniversary, the Bath Bomb has teamed up for an exclusive partnership with the Bristol Evening Post, who are now offering a free Bath Bomb with every issue! Money-grubbing egghead MD Kevin Beatty, of media monopoly Associated Newspapers (proud pro-fascist owners of the Daily Mail, as well as Northcliffe Media - who have been busily buying out every local media outlet they can over the last 5 years and reducing them to the same generic mould) had this to say about the happy union: “…venture capitalism… caviar…tax loopholes…fourth holiday home in the Bahamas…co-opting anything radical and real….” Happy first birthday us! Now, we look eagerly forward to the next year of blandly censoring all opinion, cost cutting, and sacking surplus journos!.... Full article.

'Gitmo' was the winner of the 'Best Documentary' award at the Seattle Film Festival and recipient of a 'Special Jury Mention' at the Miami Film Festival and the musical score won first prize for music in at the Festival international Musique et Cinéma in France. The film looks at the detention facility and talk to various people involved.

Bristol Indymedia is pleased to premiere the third film by local director Ed Hill looking at the continuing injustice in Palestine. This personal and moving documentary tells the story of ten people, from the Bristol area, who go to Palestine to help with the olive harvest during the autumn of 2007. Told in their own words, it recounts their experiences on the trip, from the hospitality of the local farmers to the injustice on the Israeli occupation in the West Bank. It shows how ordinary people can transcend the boundaries of international politics to meet on a very human level.

The spotlight is again on Guantanamo as now an al-Jazeera cameraman has been freed from detention there having been held for six years without charge. In January, Bristol Indymedia hosted a talk by former Guantanamo bay detainee Moazzam Begg. The talk was a huge success and we filled the Cube twice over!

Monday 7th April 2008, 8.30pm at the Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft

Bristol Indymedia is proud to present the Bristol Première of Munda Nyuringu, introduced by the co-director, Janine Roberts. The film is a documentary named by the Wongi people of Western Australia. It means "He's taken the land, he thinks it is his, he will not give it back". The film tells the Aboriginal story of the colonization of Australia as symbolised by the seizure of the goldfields of West Australia and by the use of their 'empty lands' for UK Atomic bomb tests in which some 400 Aborigines died. It also told for the first time how mixed blood children were seized and taken from their parents, which made headlines recently when the new Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, apologised.
