Bringing Durban
Home
Directed by Thom Powers.
Narrated by Alice Walker, BRINGING DURBAN HOME weaves together the
third World Conference Against Racism and footage from around the
world to show you seven examples of struggles for racial and ethnic
justice.
The third World Conference Against Racism was a significant milestone
in the fight for racial and ethnic justice. The number of non-governmental
and civic groups that were able to participate at Durban was record
breaking, and the agenda set a precedence for addressing racism
across the world as a violation of human rights.
Unfortunately, Durban did not receive much media attention. What
little coverage there was focused on the U.S walkout and the Israel/Palestine
controversy—overshadowing much of the political progress and
the historical significance of Durban. BRINGING DURBAN HOME breaks
this silence so that the dialogues at Durban can continue at local
levels in our everyday lives.
BRINGING DURBAN HOME is available from Breakthrough.
