Genocide Awareness Film Festival at UVic!

On Tuesday, April 1st, and Wednesday, April 2nd, STAND UVic will be facilitating a Film Festival focusing on past genocides, and the mass-murder campaign that is currently taking place in Darfur. The three countries focused on will be Germany, Rwanda, and Darfur.

After the movies, Dr. Zimmerman and Dr.M. Engineer of the University of Victoria will host a discussion about genocides, their root causes, similarities, and the lessons that they have taught us with students and anyone else who wishes to participate.

The movies to be played are:

1. Survivors of the Holocaust (Tuesday, 7:30pm), Room ECS 123
2. Shake Hands with the Devil (Wednesday at 7:00pm), Room ECS 125
3. The Devil Came on Horseback (Wednesday, ending at around 10:30pm), Room ECS 125

STAND Table at the SUB

Hey guys!

Next Monday, Thursday, and Friday STAND is once again going to be at the SUB. We will have postcards to send, directed to Joyce Murray, calling on politicians to 'Do more for Darfur'. It would be great if you could come out and sign one!

We'll be there from 8am to 5pm, and as always we'd love some company, so stop by if you have a chance in your busy schedules. :)


See you,
Cait
