WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING IN VENEZUELA?

oxford indymedia SCREENING - Sunday September 12th, 7.30pm, Asian Cultural Centre, Manzil Way, off Cowley Road, Oxford.

A screening of Calle y Media Collective's scintillating film:

"BOLIVARIAN VENEZUELA: PEOPLE AND STRUGGLE OF THE FOURTH WORLD WAR"

Countering the mainstream media's depiction of President Hugo Chavez as an authoritarian nationalist, this film shows the Bolivarian revolution as democratic and coming from below, directed and controlled by the Venezuelan popular movements. Come and see this powerful film to understand why the recent referendum on Chavez' presidency was won, and how Venezuela suggests a model for the Americas and the rest of the world.

The G8 (Group of eight most industrialised nations) Summit will be held at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, about 40 miles/70 kilometres away from Edinburgh, in Scotland from 6-8th of July 2005. In past years, everywhere they have tried to meet they have been met with a massive response from the world's social movements. Now, in Britain, a network of groups and individuals is emerging that resists the Summit, and forms a lasting movement against capitalism.

The next Dissent! Gathering will take place in Edinburgh on 17th-19th September 2004.

Come along and get involved!
