Houston Social Forum Dinner and Movie: 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, The
Artery, 5401 Jackson at Prospect (entrance on Prospect)

Join the Houston Social Forum for a potluck dinner and screening of
Rumble in Mumbai. The film documents the World Social Forum held in
Mumbai, India January 2004 and the 100,000 plus people who attended
the forum, all looking to build solidarity--and a better world. For
those looking to understand the growing global malaise, which the
social forae seek to rectify, Rumble in Mumbai is a good starting point.

Rumble in Mumbai documents the World Social Forum held in Mumbai,
India in January, 2004. Over 100,000 people attended this year's
forum, all looking to build solidarity--and a better world. With
interviewees like Shirin Ebadi, Jose Bove, Nawal Saadawi, and Walden
Bello, and featuring the eloquent speeches of Arundhati Roy, Mustafa
Barghouti, Jeremy Corbyn, and Irene Khan, Rumble in Mumbai is packed
with high-caliber critiques of neo-liberalism gone awry, and damning
indictments of the ill effects of globalization. And as with the
forum itself, marginalized voices are here given a platform to air
their grievances: Dalit rights, handloom weaver unionization, South
Asian LGBT issues, communalism and secretarianism, the plight of
Palestinians living in the shadow of a new Apartheid wall--these
issues and many more are explored.
