Happy Birthday, Bruce!

Bruce is 50. Happy birthday! Here’s a video we made on Worcester Commons.

The good thing about having him as my spiritual advisor is that he’s always ready with advice. The bad thing is, it’s not always good advice.

(I’m hoping to put together a massive video roundtable discussion featuring Bruce before I leave Worcester in a couple weeks. Keep your fingers crossed.)

HOWTO: Protest the Darfur Genocide

Tom Lewis being arrested at the Sudan embassy If you’re subscribing to our video rss, you’ve noticed that the movie “Darfur Genocide on Trial” is now available on-line.

(Movie page, with links to versions in .wmv (55 MB) and .avi/DivX (685.5 MB).)

When we made the movie, I wasn’t sure what purpose it served, but it has turned out to be a great tool for introducing people to avenues of action on the Darfur issue.

Watching the movie, you learn:

a little about the situation in Darfur (from Eric Reeves);
a little about how you could travel to Darfur and what might happen when you get there (from the Catholic Worker Peace Team);
a little about what it would be like to demonstrate at the Sudanese embassy;
a little about civil disobedience at the embassy, and what the arrest would be like;
and a little about taking your case to court, and how you could mount a necessity defense.

So maybe you’ll want to check the movie out. If you have any trouble with the downloads, please post a comment and we’ll do our best to get things working smoothly.

Quicktime: We’ve had no luck in converting this movie to a small, viewable .mov file. If you think you could help us with this, e-mail pieandcoffee@gmail.com and we’ll try to get you the huge master .avi file. Or maybe you can work some magic with the DivX linked above.
