DESCRIPTION:Press (100 min.) (2011) (Turkey) Directed by: Sedat Yilmaz \n\nThis is a 
 drama about the struggle of Kurdish journalists to produce their newspaper 
 Özgür Gündem. Under severe repression and intimidation, getting out a 
 newspaper is a deadly danger. The story centers around the Kurdish 
 journalists in Diyarbak?r, the largest Kurdish city in Turkey.\n\nÖzgür 
 Gündem is under siege. After exposing human rights abuses in the city of 
 Diyarbak?r, the journalists of Özgür Gündem become the target of 
 increasingly ruthless government-sanctioned intimidation. Press tells the 
 story of the Özgür Gündem offices and Kurdish journalists in Diyarbak?r.

 (2014) (Greece) Directed by: Yorgos Avgeropoulos\n\nThis film recounts the 
 autocratic shutdown on June 11, 2013 of the Greek ERT public broadcast 
 system by the rightwing government of former Greek Prime Minister Antonis 
 Samaras. The government said it cost too much to operate and they needed to 
 trim expenses. The workers and their union resisted and organized the first 
 occupation of a national public broadcasting system.\n\nThis blatant mass 
 censorship brought a tremendous backlash from the people of Greece as well 
 as outrage around the world.\n \nThis film shows the occupation from the 
 inside by the media workers themselves. These workers and the Greek working 
 class refused to accept the closure of their public broadcasting system. 
 The struggle still continues in Greece as workers continue to fight massive 
 austerity and privatization.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jx7HtCb7AY
