REMAINS and REBIRTH: An Evening Around Katrina May 24, 2007

Doors at 6:30pm; Screening starts at 7:00pm
$7-$15 Sliding Scale
A benefit for the common ground collective. Hosted by The Portland Alliance and KBOO.
It has been a year and a half since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit
the Gulf Coast, forever changing that region and the national political
landscape. The impact on the area, the country, and the world has been profound,
but the media coverage has grown sporadic and shallow, not addressing the
long term deeper issues of racism, classism and self determination that
continue.

To combat this misrepresentation and to present images of oppressed
peoples organizing and rebuilding in the face of oppression, the Portland Alliance presents "REMAINS AND REBIRTH: An Evening Around Katrina."

This three part event includes: a screening of the post Katrina
documentary Finding Common Ground in New Orleans ; a presentation by New
Orleans-based organizer Suncere Shakur; and a question/answer dialogue with the
filmmaker Walidah Imarisha and Suncere.
