"PEOPLE TO PEOPLE" film showing
Sat., June 26 at 7 pm at the Blue Hill Library
For nearly 20 years, Pastors for Peace have been leading delegations to Cuba to oppose the travel ban, to provide humanitarian assistance that counters the effects of the US economic blockade, and to create links of understanding and respect between neighbors. This documentary is about that process and the solidarity it advocates. Everyone is invited. Members of the 2010 delegation will be on hand to talk about their past experiences and their hopes for this summer's caravan. Sponsored by the Let Cuba Live Committee of Maine and Peninsula Peace & Justice.
The documentary "Mission
Against Terror"
was shown by Bernie Dwyer, one of the filmmakers, and Father Geoffrey
Bottoms, international justice advocate, at several locations in Maine
with assistance from LetCubaLive members. The film tells the story of
terrorism against Cuba organized in Florida and how five Cuban men were
defending their nation when arrested. The injustice of their trial, the
cruelty of their sentences, and the suffering visited upon their
families come across loud and clear. It's a story too of constancy and
dedication to ideals. More info at our "Free
the Five!" page and freethefive.org
