DESCRIPTION:Sneak Preview/CA premiere of the documentary film, The Naked Option, THE 
 NAKED OPTION at the CounterCorp Anti-Corporation Film Festival!! 7PM, 
 Tickets $10.  The Naked option reveals the inspiring story of an organized 
 group of Nigerian women who use the threat of stripping naked in public, a 
 serious cultural taboo, in their deadly struggle to hold the oil companies 
 accountable to the communities in which they operate.  The women, at the 
 risk of being raped, beaten or killed, are trained and armed, but not with 
 anything you can see.  Through the leadership of the courageous, 
 charismatic, and inexhaustible Emem J. Okon, these women are taking over 
 where men have failed, peacefully transforming their ‘naked power’ into 
 21st century political action and mobilization.  THE NAKED OPTION 
 celebrates the perseverance and power of an organized group of women!  A 
 Q&A will follow the screening with film director Candace Schermerhorn, 
 women's rights activist (featured in the film)  Emem J. Okon, and Laura 
 Livoti founder and director of Justice in Nigeria Now (JINN).

 Now\nPartner and Funder -  Global Greengrants Fund\nCoalition Partner - 
 Women's Earth Alliance\nThanks to Rainforest Action Network, The True Cost 
 of Chevron Network and the Global Fund for Women.\n
