  Meet The Prick 26mins Tuhoe-Maori People\, New Zealand\, Dir. Ilya Rupp
 eldt</p>\n<p>Certainly a unique documentary about a unique man\, this fi
 lm offers a look at the clash of cultures\, where one man\, very openly 
 outspoken\, who would prefer to remain one of the 'children of the mist'
 \, forces the question to be asked\, what is wrong with not wanting to b
 e part of today's modern societies?</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
 &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; 13 Pueblos\, Defending Water\, Air and Land
 . 62mins\, Mexico\, Dir. Francesco Yaboada Yabone</p>\n<p>This beautiful
  documentary explores the actions that 13 indigenous communities in Mexi
 co are collectively taking to defend their environments from destruction
  and contamination by industrial and commercial projects that are threat
 ening the water\, air and land where they live.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>
 19.45 Alcatraz Is Not An Island. 56mins\, USA\, dir. James Fortier</p>\n
 <p>In November 1969 a small group of native american students and activi
 sts took te stand to occupy Alcatraz Island in San Fransisco bay. They w
 ere soon joined by thousands\, reclaiming 'Indian Land'. This remarkable
  film documents the ideals\, intentions and struggles faced by these pio
 neers and the effects they had on the way Native Americans viewed themse
 lves and their cultures from then on.</p>\n<p>Entry 6 pounds\, 3 pounds 
 students/unemployed. All funds raised go to indigenous educational proje
 cts in South America.</p>
