Viva La Causa Fim Screening & Conversations with Delores Huerta sharing over 50 yrs of Activism

Date: September 18, 2009
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Place: McLane 121

“Conversations with Delores Huerta sharing over 50 yrs of Activism” 4 p.m., McLane 121
Discussant: Dolores Huerta

Viva La Causa (2008). This film illustrates how thousands joined a movement for justice to help the most exploited people in our country — the workers who put food on our tables. The film focuses on the grape strike and boycott led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, a seminal event in the march for human rights. As racist rhetoric pollutes the immigration debate, the film could not be timelier. This film tells the story of how the powerless stood up to the powerful and gained their victory, not by violence, but by their strong will.

The events are cosponsored by College of Arts & Humanities, Associated Students Inc., Central Valley Cultural Heritage Institute, Mass Communication & Journalism, Communication and Women's Studies Departments at California State University Fresno, Fresno Free College Foundation, and Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.

CineCulture is a film series provided as a service to the Fresno State campus students, faculty, and staff, and community, at no charge. CineCulture is also offered as a 3 unit academic course in the Mass Communication and Journalism Department.

Invisible Children

Invisible Children Film Screenings

Date: Monday, September 1, 2009
Time: 2 P.M & 3 P.M.
Place:Lab School 134

September 14: The Rescue & Together We Are Free. Representatives from Invisible Children will be screening two back to back films. The Rescue (36 min.) covers the past six years of Invisible Children's movement, bringing the history of Africa's longest running war into modern context. The second film, Together We Are Free (39 min.) is a follow up film about the International Rescue event. It tells the story of the supportive community which formed, as caravans of youth traveled across the world to extend their support, modeling the Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement. Consequently, a bill was introduced to Congress which calls on the United States to bring an end to this war and assist in rebuilding the affected region. Please join us for these encouraging stories of youth making a difference in policy change, followed by discussion.
