DESCRIPTION:On May 19th and 20th, the award winning controversial documentary 
 “Operation Small Axe” will be coming to UC Santa Cruz and Barrios 
 Unidos in Santa Cruz.\n\n“Operation Small Axe” which gets its name from 
 the lyrics of a Bob Marley song, is about the turbulent year of 2009; where 
 a police murder was caught on videotape, the people rebelled in the streets 
 in more than one way, and the cop who pulled the trigger, was indicted for 
 murder. The trial was then moved to Los Angeles. \n\n“Operation Small 
 Axe” is a documentary that follows around one of the most progressive 
 voices in media, in the nation, that of The Prisoners of Conscience 
 Committee's Minister of Information JR Valrey, who can be heard regularly 
 on Pacifica Radio and on XM radio. In the midst of all the action, in the 
 documentary, he is a reporter who is summing up what he is experiencing and 
 reporting on, which is very gripping and emotional. This documentary 
 captures his organizing and journalistic talent and gives the people in the 
 impacted community, a chance to voice their opinion of the events at hand; 
 a perspective that is never heard in the corporate mainstream media. \n\nIn 
 March of 2010, at the Patois Human Rights Film Festival in New Orleans, 
 “Operation Small Axe” won the Rise Up Award, for being the most 
 motivational film. Do not miss your chance to see one of the most 
 captivating and eye opening cinematic experiences of the year, this is a 
 documentary on police terrorism that will be talked about for decades to 
 come, and documented in the cinematic history of this country. 
 \n\n“Operation Small Axe” has already been screened in South Africa, 
 Libya, Malaysia, France, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, 
 Oakland, and San Francisco, just to name a few of the places. It will be 
 coming to Santa Cruz on Wednesday, May 19th to the UC Santa Cruz Stevenson 
 Center #175 From 3-5pm and Barrios Unidos/1817 Soquel Ave. Santa Cruz from
