Simón Sedillo is a chicano community rights defense organizer and a documentary film-maker whose work has centered on placing skills, cameras and editing equipment in the hands of communities in resistance so that they may be able to document their own histories of struggle.

Stories and activities for your youngsters.

Taxi to the Darkside (2007) is an excellent Academy Award winning documentary film that explores detainee policy and torture at the Bagram Theatre Internment Facility in Afghanistan through the story of an innocent Afghan taxi driver. As the Obama Administration looks to significantly expand the Bagram Internment Facility and continues to deny many detainees captured in the War on Terror their due process rights this film and discussion become all the more relevant.

We meet every-other Tuesday at 8pm and will next be discussing Hakim Bey's Immediatism.

Come for juicy a discussion of radical theory!!

We will be screening this two-part documentary on two consecutive Wednesdays this month. During the Cold War, as African nations struggled for independence from European colonialism, revolutionary Cuba came to the aid of three countries: the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, and Angola. First Che Guevara came to the Congo with a small number of Cuban troops, and later in Angola thousands of Cubans came to fight against South African forces. Filled with first-hand accounts and period footage, this documentary is an excellent examination of South-South efforts to liberate themselves from First World imperialism.
