A VILLAGE CALLED VERSAILLES San Diego Asian Film Festival: Ultra Star Theaters, Hazard Center. Sun Oct 18. 12:10pm 20
FREE tickets available 10/14 for UCSD students at the Cross-Cultural
Center, first come-first serve. $5 deposit, returned at showing.  In a New Orleans neighborhood called Versailles, a tight-knit group of
Vietnamese Americans overcame obstacles to rebuild after Hurricane
Katrina, only to have their homes threatened by a new
government-imposed toxic landfill. A VILLAGE CALLED VERSAILLES is the
empowering story of how the Versailles people, who have already
suffered so much in their lifetime, turn a devastating disaster into a
catalyst for change and a chance for a better future. |
9500 LIBERTY FREE SHOWING! Asian American Film Festival: Jacobs Center (404 Euclid Ave, San Diego CA 92114) Tues Oct 27. 7pm
Prince William County, Virginia becomes ground zero in
America's explosive battle over immigration policy when
elected officials adopt a law requiring police officers to
question anyone they have "probable cause" to suspect
is an undocumented immigrant.
9500 Liberty reveals the startling vulnerability of a local
government, targeted by national anti-immigration
networks using the Internet to frighten and intimidate
lawmakers and citizens. Alarmed by a climate of fear
and racial division, residents form a resistance using
YouTube videos and virtual townhalls, setting up a
real-life showdown in the seat of county government. |
OFF THE BEATEN PATH
The UCSD University Art Gallery is hosting an

their basic human rights to a

MURAL UNVEILING
Thurgood Marshall College- Peterson Hall. Wed Oct 14. 12:00pm
Students, faculty and staff from diverse
backgrounds are looking forward to what will be a major event in the
history of UCSD. The mural will have a positive impact on issues
relating to campus climate, relations with off-campus communities of
color, and even yield activities.
It is important to note that the mural project was
supported by several campus groups including MEChA, SPACES, and SAAC.
Significant student input went into the design of the image. The final
execution was completed by internationally known San Diego-based
Chicano artist, Mario Torero. This marks the first time that public
art rooted in the cultural and historical experience of a real
community will be fore grounded on the UCSD campus. Although this is a
temporary installation, we can through our dedication make it permanent.
