poDcast 9: a week on openDemocracy

openDemocracy, 8 March 2007

Subjects:

In our ninth poDcast: a festival of emerging women filmmakers, the latest developments from Colombia and a celebration of International Women's Day.

Welcome to openDemocracy's poDcast.

This week we preview the Bird's Eye View festival promoting emerging women filmmakers - hear about a hip hop collective in Cuba which explores artistic freedom under Castro's regime and take a personal journey exploring the Armenian genocide.

On the eve of President Bush's five day tour of Latin America Ana Carrigan, openDemocracy author and writer on Colombian affairs, analyses the significance of President Bush's visit to meet a Colombian president mired in scandal.

And we join with women around the world to celebrate International Women's Day ... hear an Indonesia view on why the day is important.

Plus, a round-up of the week's highlights in openDemocracy by our managing editor, Grace Davies.
