On
the programme: screening of documentary 'News from a
Private War' , music videos by Brazilian rapper MV Bill,
short theatre performances followed by an open debate
with guest speakers on a variety of issues.
We
plan to include: urban violence, rural issues, indigenous
issues, social injustice, children, gender issues, economic
issues.
Although
Brazilians living abroad cannot vote, we can influence
our family and friends back home.
Besides
your important attendance, we also hope to attract media
attention and contribute as an organisation which aims
to represent Brazil abroad.
Most
importantly, we hope to inspire as many people as possible
to support gun control in Brazil and around the world.
