Press release
Radical News Network goes on tour
Undercurrents News Network seeks out and distributes cutting edge
documentaries and animations overlooked by TV broadcasters. We take our
latest compilation to a screening near you.
In our music section, poet Taalam Acey voices his concerns about how
his fellow black artists are being encouraged to promote gun crime and
violence.
Our News Spinner reports how an oil corporation was successfully
stopped from supporting the brutal Burmese military government. Our
investigation team shows dramatic video images of how desperate Iraqi
and Afghani refugees escaped from a detention camp in Australia.
UNN co-producer Zoe Broughton said:
"Undercurrents News Network seeks out and distributes cutting edge
documentaries and animations, providing an outlet for views rarely
expressed in the mainstream media. And while the mainstream all too
often follows the news agenda set by Whitehall and the White House, we
carry the voice of the marginalised. Whether it is an innovative
protest against war or the destruction of a local beauty spot by a
greedy developer, camcorders will be there to provide a witness and we
are here to distribute the evidence. Undercurrents is an award-winning
non-profit organisation which aims to provide media support to
environmental and social justice campaigners."
