It'l probably be a short report on the current situation + experiences of
no-detention centres/no-borders o/s + a debrief from saturday's action at
villawood + a short talk about what organising has happened in the past
leading to a discussion about what ideas people have for what to do NOW.
so a few people will speak on each of these briefly, leading into an
all-in discussion.

gonna suggest that a e-list/phone tree gets happening for snap
actions/anti-deportation actions etc. so if you cant come to the
talk/discussion email us.

The Battle of Algiers:
“If you want to understand what’s happening right now in Iraq, I recommend The Battle of Algiers.” - Zbigniew Brzezinsk
This highly political film about the Algerian struggle for independence from France took "Best Film" honors at the 1966 Venice Film Festival. The bulk of the film is shot in flashback, presented as the memories of Ali (Brahim_Haggiag), a leading member of the Algerian Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN), when finally captured by the French in 1957. Three years earlier, Ali was a petty thief who joined the secretive organization in order to help rid the Casbah of vice associated with the colonial government. The film traces the rebels' struggle and the increasingly extreme measures taken by the French government to quell what soon becomes a nationwide revolt. After the flashback, Ali and the last of the FLN leaders are killed, and the film takes on a more general focus, leading to the declaration of Algerian independence in 1962. Director Gillo_Pontecorvo's careful re-creation of a complicated guerrilla struggle presents a rather partisan view of some complex social and political issues, which got the film banned in France for many years. That should not come as a surprise, for La Battaglia di Algeri was subsidized by the Algerian government and -- with the exception of Jean_Martin and Tommaso_Neri as French officers -- the cast was entirely Algerian as well.
