[imc-auckland-video] Foie gras

[mandy.scott at paradise.net.nz]

My 2 cents, I think the foie gras piece sounds great, and the east-timor piece
and the uranium mine piece, and then the "feature"...... anymore than that and I
think it can feel overwhelming and "bitsy" for people.

Shall we start organising what we have available into themes for next years
screenings?
