Hi all,<div><br></div><div>My good friend Ashley is the booking manager for the film Ciclovida, which was recently screened in Northampton. Is anyone interested in coordinating a screening here?</div><div><br></div><div> "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Myriad, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; "><strong>Ciclovida: Lifecycle</strong> pedals alongside a group of subsistence farmers from Brazil who bicycle over 6,000 miles across the South American continent in search of natural seeds. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Myriad, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; ">This feature-length documentary is made up of moving stories from landless peasants, indigenous communities, and small farmers that expose the devastating effects of industrial agriculture destined for agrofuels."</span></div>

The tour is bringing together folks from the landless peasants movement in Brazil, the film-makers, and Brazilian musicians. They are in the process of planning an event at the Brick House in Turners Falls and also would like to come to one of the local colleges. This would be a great chance to continue conversations on campus about sustainable agriculture, monoculture and indigenous resistance and meet some really amazing people working on these issues. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Coordinating the event would probably include tasks like this:</div><div><br></div><div>-requesting funding from COCA</div><div>-reserving space</div><div>-publicity</div><div>-logistics for the tour members (helping with housing and food)</div>

(And please pass on to others you think might.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>to spring,</div><div>martha</div>
