FILM ON WEDNESDAY ON CASE WIWA V. SHELL Date: Wednesday, September 30 Time: 12:30pm Length: 52 minutes The film, Wiwa v. Shell, tells the story of Ken Saro-Wiwa of Nigeria and Shell oil's partnership with the Nigerian military government to violently suppress human rights protesters in the Niger Delta which ultimately resulted in Wiwa's death.  The ensuing US case against Shell under the Alien Tort Claims Act is then discussed; Shell settled the case this past summer for $15.5 million.  Those who attended the environmental law conference in Oregon last year will remember the keynote address by the founder of the organization behind this case, EarthRights International.

Or for telling a friend. For freezing in the snow on our reality tour. Or for driving from place to place on our organizational tour. Most of all, thank you for your interest. It couldn't have happened without members like you. Now, enjoy the summer. And remember that it ain't over yet. There are ideas brewing that may come to fruition over the next few months. From conversations with Rose Henry to Witness-like ideas to use cameras to check power with truth. And in the meantime, may your summer be nothing short of glorious:
