[Imc-ct] radio-vision

[Laura Wiens]

Dear IMC Cape Town,


I'm a radio documentarian currently working at Bush Community Radio, and
have been given carte-blanche to produce political pieces for broadcast.
I've decided to produce a series on the local elections here in the Cape,
interviewing all the major mayoral candidates, township folk and activist
NGOs, and compile short theme-based documentaries (eg. an hour-long program
on housing, with all the "service-delivery plans" of the different political
parties...contrasted against the reality of the township poor and the words
of the involved NGOs).

I confess that it's been a steep learning curve. I was last in IMC Chiapas,
trekking around with the Zapatista "Other Campaign" caravan, and only
recently crash-landed in Cape Town. But I am going to be here for awhile,
and I'm very interested in hearing more about community resistance movements
here...and we finally arrive at the point of this email: I'm hoping to do
interviews with some of you to use in these radio broadcasts, or even if
you're unwilling to be recorded, I would love just to sit down and talk over
some of these issues over a hot cup of Rooibus tea.

Let me know if you're available.

Many thanks,
Laura

(I've recently finished Prof. Desai's "We are the Poors", and am working
through "Against Global Apartheid", so I shouldn't be totally uninformed.
But I'll make no promises...)
