500 Years Later: THE AFRIKAN STRUGGLE

UK 2006 90 minutes

Crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low expectation, poverty, corruption, poor health, and underdevelopment plagues people of African decent globally – Why? 500 years later from the onset of Slavery and subsequent Colonialism, Africans are still struggling for basic freedom–Why?
Filmed in five continents, 500 Years Later examines the collective atrocities that uprooted Africans from their culture and homeland.
500 Years Later is a timeless compelling journey, infused with the spirit and music of liberation that chronicles the struggle of a people who have fought and continue to fight for the most essential human right – freedom.

A global day of action on March 15, 2008:

Troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan!

The Canadian Peace Alliance and the Collectif Échec à la guerre are calling for a pan-Canadian mobilization on March 15, 2008 to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. That weekend will see protests around the world in answer to a callout for a global day of action to end the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan made by the World Against War Conference which met in London, England last December. In Canada, where the Liberals and Conservatives– contrary to the opinion of a clear majority of the population – seem intent on extending Canadian participation in the war in Afghanistan for at least three more years, it is vital that we take action ourselves to.stop this war now.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to pass along an invitation to the show that I'm organizing on Friday, March 21st. Two friends from Vancouver will be opening the night: James Lamb and Jess Hill. Both of them are good musicians and intelligently introspective songwriters. It appears that this show will constitute a London debut for a number of the musicians whom I've recently had the pleasure of involving in my backing band. These wonderful musicians presently include the following:

Ok, so... i have been told that a yearly, day long holiday called Easter exists, and is approaching nigh.

I clearly must believe it exists, because I believe people exist, and people are telling me Easter exists. You understanding my rationale here?

Evidence clearly demonstrates bunnies and eggs have definitively strong occurence in human rituals on the days which Easter occurs.
