Ska TV and Friends of the Earth are proud to present the 3rd annual Global
Insights.
Global Insights 3 is a compilation of short documentaries featuring grass
roots struggles for indigenous rights, democracy and environmental justice
which are re-shaping the world. The theme for this year is extremely timely
- Democracy and Human Rights in the Asia Pacific.
In 1999 we would love to see all the familiar faces from past years
alongside a whole host of new people. One of the great successes of past
Global Insights has been its ability to bring people together in a
celebration of the struggles and victories of the past year.
Tickets are $7 and $9 and are available from Friends of the Earth, Ska TV
and 3CR. Unfortunately, we will not be able to place tickets on hold.
The details for the night are:
Global Insights 3

Media Release
Global Insights 3: Human Rights and Democracy
After sell-out shows in 1997 and 1998, Global Insights returns to Melbourne
in 1999 to showcase video activism from Australia and around the world.
Global Insights 3 is a compilation of short documentaries featuring the
struggles for indigenous rights, democracy and environmental justice which
are re-shaping the world.
Feature documentaries include a close-up look at the pro-democracy struggle
in Indonesia, secret footage of protests from the student activist movement
in Burma, and a report on the June 18 international day of action against
globalisation.
There is also a special compilation of recent aboriginal direct-action
protests within Australia, and an action-packed environmental update.
Satirical advertisements known as 'subverts' are included between the stories.
Much of the footage has never been screened before. Global Insights is
unique in it's 'grass-roots' approach - the videos have often been shot by
activists themselves. The voices of people at the forefront of social
change are heard.
SKA TV and Friends of the Earth gratefully acknowledge the support of the
sponsors for Global Insights 1999.
People planning to attend Global Insights are strongly encouraged to buy
their tickets early. The event will sell out. For further information, call
