Two critical post-Katrina films Europe-bound
Gday All,
I've coincidentally (I think) received the email following below about two post-Katrina documentaries to be shown next month and June in Europe. I think they'd interest a lot of people in Germany. The email came to me from
tony@cactusnetwork.org.uk. Maybe someone wants to pick up on it?

Greetings. My name is Arthur and I am the co-director of the post-Katrina documentaries "Down But Not Out" and Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans." I will be in Europe between May 26-June 12 and would like to screen the film in London. Let me take a minute to introduce the films.
Down But Not Out: This film was created in 2006 one year after the storm. Survivors give first hand accounts about their horrific experiences during the storm. Racism, human rights violations, and their opinions about post-Katrina reconstruction are all addressed.
Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans: My colleague and I traveled back to New Orleans in January 2008 to document the growing Latino population. Tens of thousands of (un) documented Latino workers have greatly contributed to the reconstruction efforts. The film also captures the demographic changes in the once dominant black southern city.
I am hoping we can organize a screening in London during my time in Europe. I do not charge a screening fee.
Does UK IMC have contacts in Paris and Italy? I tried going on their sites but the language barrier is an obstacle. I am also sending the flyers for our films and a link to the trailer for Dos Americas.
Thanks for your time and I hope we can organize a screening.
In Solidarity,
Arthur
