[Reader-list] Invitation to film screening on Friday (8 April) at SCM house

[Clifton]

Hi,

We invite you to the screening of ¨Outside Mercy¨ a short documentary on the serious food crisis in the
tsunami affected villages as also the loss of livelihoods.

		Date: Friday 8th april, 2005
		Venue: SCM House (near Priyadarshini Handlooms)
		Mission Road
		Time: 6.00 pm
		Suggested contribution: Rs. 50/-

A group of us have been actively involved in the relief and rehabilitation processes in the tsunami
affected villages of TN and Pondicherry. While the mainstream media has been covering the sucess of the
relief efforts, there are several issues that are being suppressed and need to be brought to the notice
of the general public. These include issues of exclusion in the relief process and discrimnation of 
dalits.

While we tried to write articles/notes/observations and get them published this more or less failed. As a
result we have made a short documentary film that documents the losses and struggle of those 
thousands of people who have been severly affected by the tsunami yet have received little or no relief.
Further, there is no plan to rehabilitate them as is being done for the fisherpeople.

This short film is called ¨Outside Mercy¨ and is about 30 minutes long.

Warm regards
Pedestrian Pictures and ALF
