Retten til at blive hørt – oprindelige folks kamp for deres rettigheder
Reception fra kl. 18-19: Sædvanen tro indbyder Netla sine medlemmer på et glas rødvin og lidt snacks før jul.
Filmen 19.30, Retten til at blive hørt, ved Niels Boel vises herefter efter oplæg fra instruktøren selv.
Filmen varer 1/2 time og er produceret af VF Film.
Niels Boels nye film handler om oprindelige folks kamp for deres rettigheder i det mellemamerikanske land Honduras. Filmen tager udgangspunkt i mordet sidste år på den internationalt anerkendte menneskerettighedsforkæmper Berta Cáceres.
Hun var leder af lenca-indianernes organisation. Som modtager af den amerikanske miljøpris Goldman var hun det mest kendte offer i kampen for miljøet i Honduras. Men mange andre honduranere må lade livet i forsvaret for naturen.

Brazil in Crisis – About a New Economic Agenda, Political Bargaining and Those Who Pay the Bill, ved lektor i portugisiske og brasilianske studier George Wink, Københavns Universitet
No sooner had Dilma Rousseff (Workers’ Party) been reelected as Brazil’s president in 2014 when the political opposition, aided by the mass media, stimulated broad public support and started to work towards overthrowing the president in order to impose their own political agenda and economic policies.
They succeeded in doing so, in August 2016, by pushing through a so-called impeachment process, which brought Vice-President Michel Temer as their zealous marionette into office. Since then, Brazil has witnessed a breathtaking legislative activity to make it – in neoliberal eyes – fit for the future, which, instead of stabilizing the country, has so far provoked a general turmoil and further deteriorating economic and social indicators.
The presentation will explain about the backgrounds of this extremely worrying course of events, showing which interests are really in play, how they have managed to prevail against democratic structures and what the drastic consequences for the Brazilian people are.
