Monday 5th May 2008 8pm @ Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft, Bristol - Entry Free!

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! As a follow on to that event, Bristol Indymedia will be screening the award winning documentary 'Gitmo: The new Rules of War'. '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. Full article.

Local Election News & Views

Amidst mild gains for the LibDems and Conservatives in the South West elections, one Bristolian cast a vote, despite currently living abroad. Ballot Liberation Front writes; About a week after I moved to Prague, I overheard a conversation where an English ex-pat was proudly proclaiming the virtues of English democracy. "It's great", I heard him say, "on May 1st I can cast my vote at the British Embassy right here in Prague". Fantastic. I had been worried that due to living abroad, I would become one of the "disenfranchised youth of today", unable to exercise my democratic right, and duty. But, thanks to this fine Englishman, I now knew this was not true. So I ensured that today, as voters head to the polling booths, I set out for the British Embassy to cast my vote. Faced with a choice of "More of the same", "more of the same" or, "more of the same", I opted for "No suitable candidate". Full article.
