Just a reminder on the Gallipoli event: centenary event in Glasgow.
April
25,Saturday, 1pm in the cinema room at the Centre for Contemporary Art
at 350, Sauchiehall Street. This day marks the centenary of the World War I
battle of Gallipoli, a disaster that cost the lives of hundreds of
thousands. We will be showing part of a movie made by Peter Weir, and
featuring a young Mel Gibson. The movie will be introduced by three
short talks, one setting the context of the battle and the connection to
Scotland, another on the enormous impact Gallipoli had on New Zealand
and Australia and finally a talk putting this centenary event in the
context of the counter program to the government's glorification of the
war and of militarism. The movie will be followed by a discussion. FREE.
All welcome. Sponsored by the Scottish Peace Network and the Industrial
Workers of the World.
