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."
