FILM: “DISTURBING THE UNIVERSE – WILLIAM KUNSTLER”

(85 min, Emily Kunstler, Sarah Kunstler & Jesse Moss2009)

The man who had marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., and who had defended the Chicago 8 anti-war protestors, Native American activists at Wounded Knee and prisoners caught up in the Attica prison rebellion was now seen kissing the cheek of a Mafia client and defending an Islamic fundamentalist charged with assassinating a rabbi, terrorists accused of bombing the World Trade Center and a teenager charged in a near-fatal gang rape.

In this intimate biography, Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler seek to recover the real story of what made their late father one of the most beloved, and hated, lawyers in America.

(** indicated new or edited information)

Friday, July 1, 2011, 7:00 to 9:30 PM
FILM: “PHIL OCHS: THERE BUT FOR FORTUNE” (96 min, Kenneth Bowser, 2010)

Much like his contemporaries Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, Phil Ochs is emblematic of America in the 60s. More than just a folk singer, Ochs helped to infuse popular music with a political perspective, rallying the like-minded and challenging the status quo. A vivid and compelling portrait of an icon of the 60s whose life was cut tragically short.

FILM: BANANAS!* (87 min, Fredrik Gertten, 2011)
THE FILM DOLE FOOD CO. DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE!

With Representatives from WITNESS FOR PEACE, and others.

BANANAS!* is a suspenseful, layer-peeling, court room drama chronicle contextualized within the global politics of food and First vs. Third world dynamics. It focuses on a slippery fact trail and a landmark and highly controversial legal case pitting a dozen Nicaraguan plantation workers against Dole Food Corporation and its alleged usage of a deadly banned pesticide and its probable link to generations of sterilized workers. Theirs is a bellwether case: The first of thousands of cases awaiting trial in Nicaragua and the first legal case where foreign farm workers were allowed to testify against an American multinational corporation before a full jury on U.S. soil. At stake are the futures of generations of workers, their families as well as the culture of global, multinational business.
