Got Docs: We Women Warriors
February 5, 2011Women on the streets of Egypt this week: we see you. And those who blog, write and excite, we see you too. Our documentary of the week honors women who lead their communities in fights for justice. We Women Warriors features three female leaders of an indigenous people's movement in Colombia who have refused to allow their people to become a wedge between their nation's warring factions. The film is directed by Nicole Karsin, and you can find out more about it through the links here.Asmaa Mahfouz, Dave Zirin, We Women Warriors & Bradley Manning
February 4, 2011"As long as you say there is no hope, then there will be no hope, but if you go down and take a stance, then there will be hope." Those are the words of Asmaa Mahfouz, one of the founders of the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, who took to the Internet to spread her message in the days leading up to the protests, which have spread across her country and led to President Mubarak announcing he will not run for reelection. As the protesters continue their fight to get Mubarak out sooner rather than later, we bring you Asmaa's words to remember how all of this got started.Media Roundtable: Right Wing Terrorism, Indigenous Rights, GM, and the NYT repents
