About

Who is Voices of Opposition? Well, officially we are Voices of Opposition to War, Racism and Oppression.

We are centered here in Tucson, Arizona, and our core group of eight or so people organise a political film and lecture series here at the University of Arizona. Hopefully at some point we will branch out to reach Pima Community College and the rest of the community.

Every Tuesday during the fall and spring semesters, in an effort to present the public with an alternative to the standard media outlets, we present free socially conscious political films and lectures that address the issues that all of us face from day to day, but which our 'leaders' can't seem to solve, our media just doesn't seem to cover, and no one seems to analyze as a symptom of a larger problem.

Asalto Al Sueno/Assaulted Dream

-- This amazing documentary, shot on the Guatemala-Mexican border, gives a first-hand picture of the desperate of poverty and migration. This is the most visible and disturbing face of globalization. This film has been featured in locations all across Latin America in order to dramatize the situation and spur discussions of solutions. DVD includes key excerpts of film followed by a talk and QnA session with Linda Green. Linda Green, UA Associate Professor of Anthropology, has been studying Central America for years. She is the author of Fear as a Way of Life: Mayan Widows in Rural Guatemala.
