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 Monday 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.

“ abUSed: THE POSTVILLE RAID” - Award-winning Mexican filmmaker, Luis Argueta, presents excerpts from his new documentary, telling the story of the most brutal, most expensive, and one of the largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the history of the United States. By weaving together the personal stories of the individuals, the families, and the town (Postville, Iowa) directly affected by the events of May 12, 2008, the film presents the human face of the issue of immigration reform and serves as a cautionary tale against abuses of constitutional human rights.

ARISTIDE AND THE DESPERATE HISTORY OF HAITI - “Aristide and the Endless Revolution” is an award-winning documentary, shining the spotlight on the strife-torn history of Haiti. Featuring exclusive interviews with former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide and commentary from a wide range of supporters and critics, this film exposes a tangled web of hope, deceit, and political violence in the world’s first black republic, now devastated by poverty and the recent earthquake.
