PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT FILM ON BURMA---L.A. is lucky to have the film coming to our town! This riveting story of courage and sacrifice chronicles the personal and political journeys of ERI’s groundbreaking lawsuit against Unocal for human rights abuses in Burma . Join the protagonists of the documentary, ERI’s Ka Hsaw Wa and Katie Redford, for an evening of film and conversation in Santa Monica at the Monica Theatre. Host Committee: Christine Aylward, Andrew Beath, Lawrence Bender, Charlie Clements, Julia Butterfly Hill, Michael Kaliski, Kerry Kennedy, Hala Khouri, Rudy Langlais, Marianne Manilov, Stephen Nemeth, Lora O’Connor, Belvie Rooks, Kate Tillery and Bradley Whitford Date: Tuesday, March 27 Time: 7:30pm Doors Open; 8:00pm Film Begins Place: Monica Theatre 1332 2nd Street Santa Monica, CA Tickets: Seating is limited! Please reserve your free ticket by contacting Dan Fatton at March27@earthrights.org or 202-466-5188 ext. 108. For more information on the film, visit www.totaldenialfilm.com or www.earthrights.org What people are saying about Total Denial: According to Mark Holcomb of Time Out New York, "Gutsy, crude and ultimately graceful, it tracks the progress of a lawsuit filed by Burmese villagers forced to toil (and worse) on a pipeline funded by American and French oil companies. Kaneva’s doc provides gratifying proof that justice and the law aren’t yet mutually exclusive, and like its disparate protagonists – it maintains a fierce clarity without resorting to easy despair." From Eye Weekly, "The film is inspiring and infuriating in equal measure: its subject’s courage and fortitude are awe-inspiring -- but, then, so is the hypocrisy and callousness of those on the other side." From Strictly Film School, "Milena Kaneva presents a probing, illuminating, and incisive exposition into the everyday reality of the incestuous alliance of politics and big business economics." Josh D., who viewed the film in DC, "It was a really great movie! What an incredible story. Made me feel like I should really do something more worthwhile with my law degree." Jason S., who viewed the film in DC, "Thank you for inviting me to last night's presentation. It was moving and powerful, and I found myself really thinking about a lot of things afterward; not really wanting to talk a lot about it, just thinking. The film really helped to humanize what you are doing, have done, and what your visions are going forward. It was an important mental step for me to go from seeing you both as brilliant, committed, nice people running a successful NGO to what I saw last night. In my humble opinion, more people need to see this, and to meet you two, and hear about the success of EarthRights International in helping to make corporations realize that violations of these rights are not acceptable, nor are they free."

how important?

If you truly felt this film was so important you would have released it on youtube or some other filesharing system where thousands can view it instead of a handful able to attend limited screenings.
