*[Enwl-eng] Water & War Virtual Film Fest (March 15-22)

[ENWL]

--------------------------------------------------------

                        You're invited to join World BEYOND War & partners 
for our 2nd annual virtual film festival from March 15-22!
                        With the escalating conflict over Ukraine, our work 
to call for the abolition of war seems ever more pertinent. In trying times 
like these, it feels especially important for us to come together in 
solidarity, unifying our collective call for demilitarization and 
nonviolence. Our "Water & War" film festival from March 15-22 will provide 
that opportunity for international networking and discussion, as we watch 
and learn about the human and environmental impact of war and militarism 
worldwide, and the stories of those who are standing up to resist it.



                        This year’s “Water & War” theme explores the 
intersection of militarism & water, survival & resistance, in the lead-up to 
#WorldWaterDay on March 22. A unique mix of films explores this theme, from 
PFAS pollution on a military base in Michigan and the infamous U.S. Navy's 
Red Hill fuel leak in Hawai’i poisoning groundwater, to Syrian war refugees 
fleeing violent conflict by boat to Europe and the story of the 
assassination of Honduran Indigenous water activist Berta Cáceres. Get 
tickets!


                        Day 1 of the festival on Tuesday, March 15 at 7:00pm 
Eastern Daylight Time launches with a discussion of the sweeping water 
contamination caused by U.S. military bases worldwide with screenings of No 
Defense & The Empire Files' A Battle for Water in Hawai’i. The post-film 
discussion will include Craig Minor, Tony Spaniola, Mikey Inouye, and other 
special guests TBA.


                        Day 2 on Saturday, March 19 at 3:00pm Eastern 
Daylight Time features a screening of the film The Crossing, with director 
George Kurian. A rare, firsthand account of one of the most dangerous 
journeys of our time, this timely, nail-biting documentary follows the 
grueling plight of a group of Syrian refugees as they cross the 
Mediterranean Sea and travel across Europe. The panel discussion will 
feature director George Kurian and Niamh Ní Bhriain, coordinator of the 
Transnational Institute’s War and Pacification Programme.


                        Day 3, the festival finale on #WorldWaterDay 
(Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00pm Eastern Daylight Time), features Berta Didn’t 
Die, She Multiplied!, a celebration of the life and legacy of Honduran 
Indigenous, feminist, and environmental activist Berta Cáceres. The film 
tells the story of the Honduran military coup, the assassination of Berta, 
and the victory in the Indigenous struggle to protect the Gualcarque River. 
>From Flint to Standing Rock to Honduras, the water is sacred and the power 
is in the people. The post-film discussion will feature director Sam Vinal 
and other special guests to be announced.
