NYC: A glimpse into Burkina Faso

CODEPINK friend and award-winning documentary filmmaker will be in NYC next week to show her newest film:

BURKINABÈ RISING: The Art of Resistance in Burkina Faso’ 
Feb 28th, 8:15 pm

Burkinabè Rising, a new documentary directed by Iara Lee from Cultures of Resistance Films, showcases creative nonviolent resistance in Burkina Faso. A small, landlocked country in West Africa, Burkina Faso is home to a vibrant community of artists and engaged citizens, who provide an example of the type of political change that can be achieved when people come together. It is an inspiration, not only to the rest of Africa but also to the rest of the world.
