Join Animal Rights Direct Action Coalition for a night of ALF appreciation. Through two essential short- films to the animal rights diet we will look into the world of those who truly fight for a more compassionate world.
“Animal Liberation the Movie” plunges viewers into the secret world of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Follow ALF members as they raid research laboratories and factory farms to rescue animals destined for torture and death. Created by members of the ALF in Britain, the film examines the history of the organization, as well as its mission and tactics. (approximately 1/2 hour)
“Angels of Mercy” tells the story of Animal Liberation Front volunteer Keith Mann. Following his arrest for an unsuccessful attempt to burn several trucks associated with an egg processing plant, Keith Mann escaped police custody and went on the run with his girlfriend Angela Hamp, also facing animal liberation related charges. This is their story. (approximately 1/2 hour)

As the second most populated country in the world and with a population of over 1 billion, India is home to 1, 500 different languages and dialects, a varied ethnic makeup, and rich cultural diversity unmatched by any other country of the world. Among this mix of people are Indias indigenous communities often referred to as aboriginal or tribal communities. Although these communities form a significant proportion of Indias population they are often invisible in the discourse on Indian society and culture. Dr. Sudha Anand will discuss the cultural diversity of the tribal communities of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India, that is home to a large percentage of Indias tribal population. Her talk is accompanied by two short graphical presentations: “The Elves Of the Forests” illustrates the primary clans, customs, rituals and life styles of the tribal communities; “The Lost Horizons” is a sequel that highlights the discrimination, social rejection and marginalization that these communities encounter when they are forced to migrate to urban areas in search of a better livelihood. Dr. Anand is a Professor of English and a social science researcher from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
