DESCRIPTION:Miners Shot Down\n\nA film by Rehad Desai\n\nIn August 2012, mineworkers in 
 one of South Africa’s biggest platinum mines began a wildcat strike for 
 better wages. Six days later, the police used live ammunition to brutally 
 suppress the strike, killing 34 and injuring many more. Methodically and 
 soberly, Miners Shot Down follows the strike from day one, chronicling the 
 courageous but isolated fight waged by a group of low-paid workers against 
 the combined forces of the mining company, Lonmin, the ANC government, and 
 their allies in the National Union of Mineworkers. Miners Shot Down, 
 produced by filmmaker Rehad Desai, is undoubtedly one of the most important 
 and damning documentaries to emerge in post-apartheid South Africa.  2014  
 85 minutes\n\nSharat G. Lin, a research fellow at the San Jose Peace and 
 Justice Center, just returned from South Africa and will lead 
 discussion.\n\nOpen to the public\nFREE – but donations will be collected 
 for NPML\nWheelchair accessible\n\nSponsored by the Institute for the 
 Critical Study of Society and the Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library\n
