The Fruit of Our Labor – Afghan Perspectives in Film, Screening and Presentation

The response was so positive to the films we showed on Monday that we have decided to show the rest (and repeat a few of the favorites) at a screening next Friday, February 3rd, at 7:30pm at the Benton Library in Belmont.  Please spread the word.  Admission is free with a suggested donation of $10 to help continue CSFilm’s work.

Many thanks to Belmont World Film and Ellen Gitelman for organizing this screening!

Please forward this information to your community of family, friends, and colleagues.Like http://www.facebook.com/pages/Community-Supported-Film/104486899639959 on Facebook Follow CSFilm on Facebook!

Please donate to Community Supported Film

Please support our training and education work.  Audience members have stated repeatedly that watching The Fruit of Our Labor, even after 10 years of media coverage, was the first time they heard Afghans voices and saw more than fleeting views into Afghan life.  We depend on your donations to continue this work.

Art Ranger, along with her colleague Michael Sheridan, review “War is a Racket” by Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler. This highly decorated war hero becomes dogged activist and tours the country giving speeches about how he was in effect, a bully for the corporations, then quit.  Art Ranger and Sheridan share excerpts of the text as well as a piece of their minds.

ON THE MEDIA | Disrupting Journalism: How Platforms Have Upended the News, Columbia Journalism Review

After decades of shrinking revenues, and an increasing expectation among consumers that journalism should be free, the global media industry has reached a crisis point. As legacy news outlets shut down or lay off staff, misinformation and conspiracy theories run rampant, blurring the line between fantasy and reality. Trust in our institutions of governance continues to decline, fueling an alarming rise in extremism and political violence across previously stable democracies. In the Global South, the impact of journalism’s decline has been even more striking, with the rise of a new generation of autocrats skilled in manipulating the online conversation to suit their consolidation of power.
