Well the party set is actually just a community party from my knowledge. I guess it serves the purpose of ending the month of with a bang.

I would like to go to see it, I have to do an extra credit assignment for my African American psych class and I think this would be a great movie to do it on.

BARE HANDS VICTORY

FREE SCREENING
"BARE HANDS VICTORY"
AT
THE TALKING DRUM COMMUNITY FORUM
5730 S. CRENSHAW: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 24TH, 7:30 P.M.

In 1893, eight years after the end of the Berlin
West African Conference, France effectively took
control of the West African territory now called
Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire in French). What followed
was a story that we are all to familiar with.
Wherever Europeans have gone in Africa, massive
death and theft were soon visited upon the
unsuspecting and at times too welcoming African
inhabitants. Of course it was no different in Cote
d'Ivoire.

The first victims were the Baole people. A proud and
industrious people who fought bravely against the
French until they were finally defeated in 1911. At
the start of the Baoles resistance, there were 1.2
million of them. At the end of the conflict, only
200,000 Baole remained. A genocide by any standard.
Genocide was a matter of policy in Africa when
Europeans where not satisfied with Africans response
to their demands.

After the end World War II, where Europeans had
spent 6 years committing genocide against
themselves, Africans began to extricate themselves
from the long nightmare of European colonialism. On
August 7, 1960, the people of Cote d'Ivoire achieved
their independence and embarked upon a 42 year
period of relative peace and prosperity. Though
maintaining close ties to it's former colonial
occupier, with a sizable French population remaining
in the country including military bases, Ivoirians
governed themselves without much outside
interference.

That all changed in September 2002 when a coup
d'etat was attempted by so-called rebels using
French supplied weapons. In November 2004, France
directly intervened in the conflict on the side of
these rebels destroying Cote d'Ivoire's small air
force, taking over Cote d'Iovoire's airport and
attacking Cote d'Ivoire's Presidential Palace. A
clear violation of international law.

"Bare Hands Victory", details how the people of Cote
d'Ivoire, young and old, challenged France's attempt
to violate Cote d'Ivoire's sovereignty. It also
details France's brutal and murderous assault
against these brave Ivoirian patriots.

Screened at this year's Pan-African Film Festival
(2006), a must see for those how did not see it, and
a must see again, for those who did. The ghosts of
colonialism still hovers over Mother Africa.

The son of filmmaker Sidiki Bakaba, Sundiata Bakaba,
will be present to answer questions. Copies of the
film will be available for purchase.

This event will be hosted by CEMOTAP-West:
Committee To Eliminate Media Offensive to African
People
