Democracy film premieres in Lismore

LISMORE — A highly enthusiastic audience of more than 70 attended
the premiere of Indonesia in Revolt here on May 13. The showing
raised $200 for the Indonesian solidarity campaign and the accompanying
dinner prepared by Resistance members raised $150 for Green Left Weekly.

Film-maker Jill Hickson gave an inspiring account of her time in Indonesia
and the production of the film. Eight copies of the film were sold on the
night.

Resistance activist and Southern Cross University Students Representative
Council member Troy Dunn presented Hickson with a cheque for $500, donated
by a recent annual general meeting of the SRC to Action in Solidarity with
Indonesia and East Timor to aid the struggle for full democracy in Indonesia
and East Timor.

Resistance activist Chris Latham, who recently returned from a student
exposure tour of Indonesia, also spoke. A spirited discussion followed.

An organiser of the event, Kath O'Driscoll, told Green Left Weekly:
“I'd want to thank everyone who came. It was a great night and there will
be more Indonesia and East Timor campaign fund-raisers in Lismore.”
