REVOLUCION YFilm Screening: Rumble In Mumbai April 8, 7:00pm

THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 7:00pm -- UT Austin campus, University Teaching Center room# 1.130 -- Sponsored by The Post Collective, Saheli: An Organization for Asian Families and Austin IndyMedia. Suggested donation, all
proceeds to benefit RadDesi Summer 2004.

Film description: Rumble in Mumbai documents the World Social Forum held in Mumbai, India, in January 2004. The forum is a process that began as an alternative to the
World Economic Forum and to provide a venue for the many disaffected voices that began to seriously debate globalization in the 1990s. Over 100,000 people attended
this year's forum, all looking to build solidarity -- and a better world. With interviewees like Shirin Ebadi, Jose Bove, Nawal Saadawi and Walden Bello, and featuring eloquent speeches by Arundhati Roy, Mustafa Barghouti, Jeremy Corbyn and Irene Khan, Rumble in Mumbai is packed with high-calibre critiques of neo-liberalism gone awry and indictments of globalization's ill effects.
