About
Who is Voices of Opposition? Well, officially we are Voices of Opposition to War, Racism and Oppression.We are centered here in Tucson, Arizona, and our core group of eight or so people organise a political film and lecture series here at the University of Arizona. Hopefully at some point we will branch out to reach Pima Community College and the rest of the community.
Every Tuesday during the fall and spring semesters, in an effort to present the public with an alternative to the standard media outlets, we present free socially conscious political films and lectures that address the issues that all of us face from day to day, but which our 'leaders' can't seem to solve, our media just doesn't seem to cover, and no one seems to analyze as a symptom of a larger problem.

“SALT OF THIS SEA” This award-winning, thought-provoking drama tells the sad and beautiful story of a woman from Brooklyn who goes to Israel to discover the land of her Palestinian ancestors. The first fiction feature of Palestinian-American director Annemarie Jacir, and the first feature film from Palestine by a female director, this is an intimate, urgent, and rousing piece of political filmmaking.

“A NOBLE LIE: OKLAHOMA CITY 1995” This surprising documentary details research done by journalists, scholars, and ordinary citizens who question the official story of the Oklahoma bombing. Hoping to shed light on answers long ignored and censored, both by prominent media outlets and the U.S. government, this new film examines what we thought we knew about the bombing and its perpetrators.

"AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN: 10 YEARS ON"After more than a decade of war in Afghanistan, the conflict has escalated through the use of deadly drones and military attacks and is spreading across the border into Pakistan. This documentary, recently released in New York, shows how Afghans struggle to change a world increasingly dominated by violence and corruption and how Pakistani workers and peasants across the country are fighting back against a desperate economic situation with militant strikes and protests.

AN AFRICAN VISION DESTROYED: THE RECOLONIZATION OF LIBYA BY NATO Despite massive expenditure of money, media, weapons, and lives in the past ten years in the Middle East, the United States and its allies (NATO, Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Gulf States, and the coalition of the bribed) have failed to achieve their objectives in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere. Their efforts have been characterized by huge lies in the media, demonization of their enemies, violations of international law, enormous numbers of civilian deaths, and massive destruction of property. UA Professor Julian Kunnie presents an analysis of the 2011 attack on Libya as a case study of this continuing pattern.
