DESCRIPTION:PSL Film Screening & Discussion\n“Welcome to New Orleans”\n\nWhy is the 
 wealthiest country in the world incapable of evacuating a population in the 
 face of a natural disaster? And continues to neglect the displaced people's 
 needs even to this day? \n\nJoin us for a film screening and discussion of 
 the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from a Marxist perspective and hear 
 about the continuing struggle of the people of New Orleans for 
 justice.\n\nThe film "Welcome to New Orleans" documents the crisis in the 
 devastated city just days after Hurricane Katrina. The city of New Orleans 
 is a ghost town. Those that remain are still subject to abject poverty and 
 virulent racism. The filmmaker  follows former Black Panther and co-founder 
 of the Common Ground Collective, Malik Rahim and documents the racist 
 vigilantes that terrorize the Black population who are trying to survive. 
 The film starts in the days just after the hurricane, and takes us on a 
 journey to poor Black neighborhoods where the mainstream media never goes. 
 We meet despair, hate and hope—despite all. Directed by Rasmus Holm, 
 58min., 2006\n\nSponsored by the Party for Socialism & Liberation\n\n\n
