Screening & Discussion of Goran Hugo Olsson’s film “Concerning Violence”

Presented by The Critical Student Collective, Health Studies Student Association, and the UTSC Critical Book Club, and with Professor Sicchia and TAIBU Community Health Centre

Film Synopsis: Concerning Violence is a visual narrative from Africa based on archive material from Swedish documentaries 1966-1987 covering the struggle for liberation from colonial rule. This powerful footage is combined with text from Frantz Fanon’s landmark book The Wretched of the Earth – written in 1960 and still a major tool for understanding and illuminating the neocolonialism happening today, as well as the unrest and the reactions against it (adapted from http://story.se/film/concerning-violence/).  

Note: Pizza & Refreshments at 6pm, film screening begins at 6:30pm followed by a group discussion led by Professor Neil Roberts, Department of Political Science
