DESCRIPTION:Directed by Rehad Desai\n\nIn August 2012, mine workers in one of South 
 Africa's biggest platinum mines began a wildcat strike for better wages. 
 Six days into the strike, the police used live ammunition to brutally 
 suppress the strike, killing 34 and injuring many more. Using the POV of 
 the Marikana miners, * Miners Shot Down* follows the strike from day one, 
 showing 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. What 
 emerges is collusion at the top, spiraling violence and the country's first 
 post-colonial massacre. South Africa will never be the same again.\nThis 
 documentary contains uncensored footage of the violence used against the 
 miners.\n\nGroup discussion after screening.\n\nLight snacks will be 
 served. $5 suggested donation, but nobody turned away for the lack of 
 funds.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/08/12/18776055.php
