DESCRIPTION:Peace Action of San Mateo County's January program will feature Paul 
 George, Director of the Peninsula Peace And Justice Center and TD Daniell, 
 the head of PPJC's video crew. For over a year now, Paul and TD have been 
 producing a series of short videos called Orwell Was An Optimist. 
 Distributed on YouTube, other internet outlets and cable access TV, the 
 Orwell series currently stands at 39 episodes.\n\nPaul writes and appears 
 in the videos, while TD is the videographer and editor. Both Paul and TD 
 have been honored with video excellence awards from the Alliance for 
 Community Media.\n\nThe goal of the Orwell series is to try to draw new 
 audiences to critical issues of the day, ones that have often been 
 overlooked by the mainstream media. By utilizing humor, satire, and 
 visually intriguing images, Orwell attempts to inform, provoke thought, and 
 encourage action, as well as to amuse. Paul and TD have one guiding 
 principle for Orwell: Be different. You really have to see these videos to 
 fully appreciate that motto.\n\nOn Tuesday, January 27, Paul and TD will 
 screen a selection of the Orwell videos and discuss the role of humor and 
 satire in politics, as well as the role of new media such as the internet 
 in grassroots organizing. They will also of course delve more deeply into 
 the issues raised in the selected Orwell episodes. It should prove to be a 
 lively, entertaining, and informative evening.\n\nWe begin at 7 PM in Beck 
 Hall of the Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez Ave. in 
 San Mateo. Admission if free, with refreshments available. The UUSM is 
 wheelchair accessible.\n
