No Retreat

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Monday 5th October 2009, 8pm at the Cube Cinema,  Entry £3/£4 (but nobody refused entry for a lack of funds.)

Bristol Indymedia & Bristol Radical History are pleased to welcome Dave Hann & Steve Tilzey, the authors of ‘No Retreat’ – a powerful account of their fight-back against far-right Nazis and racists on the streets of the UK from the 70s though to the 90s. With the BNP gaining two seats in the European elections, the authors deliver constant and powerful message that fascism thrives when the working-class is ignored and betrayed – and we ignore it’s rise at our peril.

The Cube Microplex is a membership cinema with a licensed bar. If you are not a member you need to pay a £1 membership fee on your first visit. Remember to bring your card with you every time you come.

Sir No Sir

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Monday 2nd March 2009 8pm @ Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft, Bristol.

Bristol Indymedia Film Night: Sir! No Sir!

Introduced by Bristol Radical History Group

Entry £3/£4 (but nobody refused entry for a lack of funds.)

“Super Troopers: A Vietnam War doc with powerful contemporary parallels” – Bill Gallo, The Village Voice

Mass desertions! Demonstrations! Refusal to go into battle! Antiwar Newspapers! If you thought that resistance to war came from activist groups, social movements and campaigns then think again. Acclaimed film ‘Sir! No Sir!’ highlights the internal resistance to the Vietnam War by the GI Antiwar Movement. It’s a little known fact that thousands of GI’s organized and resisted the Vietnam War at great personal cost, many ending up in prison or in exile. This film uncovers the hidden story of that internal resistance and questions why this story has been hidden from view.

Sir! No Sir! is a film that challenges deeply-held beliefs not just about the Vietnam War and those who fought it, but about the world we live in today.

The film will be introduced by Bristol’s very own Radical History Group.
