[Imc-london] Re. Meeting 4.8.4-Pamphlet

[euan2000 at onetel.net.uk]

What a great video! 8-)

I could see how it could be a template for a pamphlet;
-intro about information is power, followed by seattle and 
first indymedia, and then onto argentina and how succesful 
and vital indymedia has become there, it would need some 
fleshing out for a paper version though.

On another note, could this video be added permanently to 
the indymedia site, even a link to it somewhere would seem 
like an obviouse idea, now that more and more people are 
getting broadband. It is only 27 meg!

and it is quite good!
