Lauantaina 13.5. klo 13–16 Turun pääkirjastossa War/Peace -dokumenttinäytös ja keskustelu:
War/Peace documentary film is re-introducing the Weather Underground, a radical student activist movement from the late 60s and 70s. The film serves as a historical reminder and draws comparisons between past and present forms of political activism. It asks a question: how can we make a change if peaceful demonstration is not effective and violence only brings more violence?
