The University of Chicago will be screening the movie "Goa Under
Siege" (Gargi Sen, 1999) this Wednesday (May 24), as part of the
series "Positive Images of India" organized by the South Asian
Students Organization.
I was invited to lead the discussion that follows "Goa Under
Siege", and will comment on the development of tourism industry
in Goa and the "anti-tourism" lobby which apparently prevails in
the film. I have very good socio-economic data on Goan society
and tourism, in addition to my own interviews with villagers and
hippies.
Still, I would be very grateful to know the opinions of list
subscribers regarding the film "Goa Under Siege". In particular,
what would you point out regarding how the film covers (or misses
to) in its treatment of tourism in Goa? Even if you haven't seen
it, what is your stance in relation to the "anti-tourism lobby"?
Your opinion is greatly appreciated and respected. Please send a
copy of your email to:

Obrigado & Viva Goa,
Anthony D'Andrea
