DESCRIPTION:Award winning documentary, “Operation Small Axe” Screenings in Santa 
 Cruz\n\n	\n\n	On May 26th , the award winning controversial documentary 
 “Operation Small Axe” will be coming to Barrios Unidos and UC 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 26th  at the UC Santa Cruz Stevenson 
 Center #175 and Barrios Unidos 1817 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz, CA.\n\nThe 
 director Adimu Madyun and the subject of the documentary, the Minister of 
 Information JR will be on hand for a Q&A after the showings.\n\nTo see the
