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](https://www.opendemocracy.net/author/Ana%5FCarrigan.jsp) 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.
