FILM: Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad (A Little Bit of So Much Truth)
In the summer of 2006, a broad-based, non-violent, popular uprising
exploded in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. When the people of
Oaxaca decided they’d had enough of bad government, they didn’t take
their story to the media… They TOOK the media. This 90-minute
documentary captures what emerged when tens of thousands of people took
14 radio stations and one TV station into their own hands. Presented by
CKUT’s Community News Collective and Ici la Otra Montreal.
Part of Redefining Media: Media Democracy and Community Radio
A CKUT 20th Anniversary Event
October 19th-21st, 2007
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec
In celebration of Media Democracy Day on October 18th, CKUT will host
its first annual media conference from October 19th to 21st, 2007. The
goal of this conference is to provide participants with a critical
understanding of media democracy, diversity and representation in the
media. It will focus primarily on community radio and the ways in which
it can be used to provide the public with clear, accurate, and
representational viewpoints and information, while actively combating
stereotyping according to race, gender, ethnicity and other factors.

The No Borders Camp
November 5th to 11th
Mexicali, United States / Calexico, Mexico
As long as the US/Mexico border has existed, people have been struggling
against it. The border itself is a colonial war monument and it continues
to be the site of a not-so-low intensity war. It is a boundary marking an
internal space of fear, control and domination over people, while
simultaneously allowing for the unrestricted movement of capital and
wealth. For years, around the world, people have been tearing down
fences, freeing detainees and fighting for self-determination. A global
movement against borders and migration controls is rising. Celebrate
global days of action for freedom of movement on the 18th anniversary of
the fall of the Berlin Wall.
