Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies presents: "Slavery: A Global Investigation"
"Slavery: A Global Investigation" (80-min, color, 2001)
With 27 million people in slavery today, how can we ever hope to eradicate this horror?
Kate Blewitt’s and Brian Woods’ eye opening documentary, based on the book Disposable People, exposes cases of slavery in the rug-making sector of Northwest India, the cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, and even the homes of World Bank officials in Washington, D.C. Filmed in India, Brazil, West Africa, London, and the US, the documentary shows how slavery fits into the global economy. The filmmakers actually buy slaves in Africa and help to free child slaves in India.
*Open discussion following the film. *Please join us! FREE. (Donations appreciated). ---Films and discussion, every Friday night! Wallingford Neighbors For Peace and Justice - Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies. Subscribe to our event announcements: wnfp@comcast.net more...

Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies presents: "This Bloody Blundering Business"
This Bloody Blundering Business. (1971; USA; doc; color; 30 min.)
An incisive and humorous satire on American foreign policy, THIS BLOODY BLUNDERING BUSINESS traces the history of American intervention in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War. Excerpts from "newsreels" of the period reveal the nature of American attitudes toward Third World peoples and cultures. While the film provides an impressively documented analysis of America's "Manifest Destiny," it also offers compelling insights into that period's significant parallels with contemporary American foreign policy.
