DESCRIPTION:Resisting Empire on Jeju Island\n\nOn a small island on the Southern tip of 
 the Korean Peninsula, for the past 7 years, a small group of villagers have 
 been waging one of the most disciplined, dedicated, creative non-violent 
 movements in the world.   \n\nSurvivors of one of the most horrific 
 genocides of the postwar era, they are struggling to prevent the Island, a 
 UN designated biosphere reserve, from becoming a deep water military base 
 that will uproot the traditional matrifocal culture, destroy a global 
 ecological treasure, and destabilize the entire pacific region.\n\nThis 
 Naval base, functioning as the lynchpin of the US Pacific pivot, will host 
 US aircraft carriers, Aegis missile destroyers, nuclear submarines, and 
 8-10,000 troops, and turn the Island into a hair trigger for global 
 confrontation.\n\nThis presentation, by activists working in solidarity 
 with Jeju Island, will screen excerpts from "The Ghosts of Jeju", 
 chronicling the genocidal US intervention in Jeju Island in 1948, and the 
 subsequent history of influence and manipulation.  There will also be 
 recent eye witness testimonies from the ground, to give a synoptic, 
 historical view of the crucial local, cultural, ecological and geopolitical 
 issues at stake.\n\nFor a good background summary,
