Film Screening: Reflections and Lessons from the South September 10, 2006

About the Event
===============
Reflections and Lessons from the South Central Farm: A film screening about the struggle for the farm and discussion with several campesinos and youth leaders from the farm. Also performance by Son del Centro.

All supporters and volunteers invited to attend and participate in forum and open mic.

Background
=========
During the last 3 years, proud and largely immigrant farmers made international news in their struggle for 14-acre farm in the midst of south central L.A.’s warehouse-covered city. Supporters and celebrities like Daryl Hannah, Joan Baez, Martin Sheen, Tom Hayden, Tom Morello, ZAck de la Rocha, and many others, traveled from far and wide to take part in protecting this valuable resource that brought food and nourishment to over 350 families, a safe, gun- and gang-free play area for their children to play in, and a cultural resource that held seeds, plants and rituals that have been passed down for generations.
Join us as we watch a film documenting the struggle for the farm and as we welcome several of the youth and long-time farmers to Santa Ana to hear their strength and share reflections from the struggle.
