It's been a difficult period for Real2Reel. We had our nice big external hard drive blown up at DSEi, our camera and all it's accesories stolen the day before an eviction attempt at the Wombles occupied social centre and then our minidisc recorder stolen at another social centre. But somehow, we've manged to continue covering grassroot direct action and protest in one form or another. We hope to get more focused in the near future and put together some more indepth issue based stuff as well as our more usual feel good shorts. Hope you find them useful...

In the last 3 years the direct pain that was felt in the United States has been exported to other parts of the world. The total number of deceased on the day of the attacks on New York, Washington and Pensylvania fell just short of 3000. In Iraq today the figure for the dead is not counted - but is widely believed to be in the tens of thousands. Now over 1000 US troops have also been killed. The resistance to the "Occupation" is increasing. The question must be asked over and over - When will it stop?Sixteen photograph essay from the Republican National Convention in New York City

Helen visits Al-Nahrwan, 30 km from Baghdad. Here she visits a rudimentary clinic. Operations are as little as $3. There is, however, no safety net if things go wrong. There is no anaesthetic, just Diazapam. The procedures were carried out professionally, with what little facilities were available. However it simply isn't acceptable that Iraqis should have this as a medical service.ESF Autonomous Spaces + Initiatives Update
08-09-2004 16:34
Autonomous Spaces During the ESF in London, 13-17th October 2004.We want to create open spaces for networking, exchanges, celebration, thinking, and action. We believe our ways of organising and acting should reflect our political visions, unlike the UK ESF organising process which has not reflected the values and charters to which it aspires.
Some of us believe that it is possible to rebuild the ESF to make it closer to the ideals it claims, others wish to go further and say that it only represents a space for the co-option of struggles, and as such, should be opposed. However we are all united in our diversity, and in our desire to act together in ways that respect these differences.
There are now several self organised and autonomous spaces - they range from legally hired venues to squatted social centres.We invite you to participate in the autonomous spaces, to help shape them, to organise workshops, discussions, creative interventions, and practical alternatives.

un reve illusoire
08-09-2004 11:24
L’Algérie et son voisin de l’ouest ne se sont, enréalité, jamais entendus depuis l’année 1975, date de
l’annexion du SAHARA OCCIDENTAL par l’armée marocaine.
Derrière, donc , les larges sourires que les
officiels des deux pays frères ennemis offrent aux
téléspectateurs se cache beaucoup d’arrière pensée
,d’hypocrisie et une haine mal contenue qui s’exprime
parfois les coups de gueule et parfois par la presse
interposée.
Ce grand malentendu historique lié directement à
l’affaire du SAHARA OCCIDENTAL, necessite la
stabilisation du « mercure »pour ne pas tourner au
drame puisqu’il suffit dans certains cas d’une
malencontreuse déclaration aussi bien au Maroc qu’en
Algérie pour que l’avenir su grand Maghreb arabe
balance d’un coté comme de l’autre.
En effet après la suppression de façon unilatérale du
« fameux »visa imposé pour les algériens désirant se
rendre au royaume chérifien et ce à l’occasion du
cinquième anniversaire de la succession au trône du
roi Mohamed V ,les autorité algériennes ,au lieu
d’en faire de même ont préféré opter pour
l’indifférence et le maintien de la fermeture de la
frontière terrestre entre les deux pays jusqu'à nouvel
ordre.

It has been an extremely interesting week here in new york, I have never been at an event that has had such a consistent level of protests, actions, meetings and creative responses spread over more than a week.
