Solidarity with women and workers in Iran: film showing and social

On the first night of Ideas for Freedom, Friday 29 June, we will 
holding a film showing and discussion on women and workers' struggles in Iran,
followed by a social. 7pm, at the Bread & Roses pub, 68 Clapham Manor
Street, SW4 6DZ (Clapham North or Clapham Common tube; Clapham High 
Street rail).

We will be showing the film Offside, which looks at the oppression of
women in Iran and their resistance to it through the story of a group 
of
young female football fans. Released last year to critical acclaim, the
film won the Amnesty International award for best film and deals with
important issues around women’s liberation and the nature of the 
Iranian
regime in a funny, entertaining way.

Iranian socialist activist Nasrin Parvaz will lead off a discussion on 
the
struggles of women and workers in Iran, alongside Houzan Mahmoud from 
the
Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq speaking about campaigns 
against
sharia law and honour killings in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Speakers followed by a social with a late bar.

"Years ago I recognised my kinship with living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free" 
Eugene Debs, US Presidential Candidate 1920
