[Imc-birmingham] [Imc-uk-features] feature proposal: oaxaca indymedia uk tour

[flatline at aktivix.org]

Completely agree with all the below, and I will have a lot of time on my hands
in august :-). It would be great to borrow a copy of that film later in the
year so we can do a screening at the uni when we (at the uni :) start the
weekly film showings. Speaking of the weekly film thingy we are doing at the
uni next year, it would great to get some recommendations for stuff to
show...topical or current etc.
