[imc-auckland-video] Trouble finding the "right things" to screen as short item at Antodote 9

[Debbie Mathews]

sorry guys i was meant to come but double booked myself.

I have a 16min dvd that might be good...its about a foie gras duck 
rescue ...
interesting story cos the doco maker was arrested at a screening of this 
video.
also foie gras has just been (kindof ) banned (with an annoying 12 year 
phase out period) in a state in the US.

might be too long - i could always do a cutdown version...

Its called delicacy of despair.
