Re: Looking for former political prisoner as a speaker at University of Denver



Tally-

My name is Sean Arthurs and I am one of the "chairs" of Amnesty
International here at Cincinnati College of Law.  I don't know of any
political prisoners who might be able to come and speak but I am wondering
about what ideas you have for an AI chapter at a law school.  We just
started up again this year and are looking for projects and ideas.  I can
also share with you one of the projects we are doing.

We have organized a letter writing campaign and are now bringing the movie
"Lilya 4-ever" to Cincinnati for its Midwest debut.  The movie is about
sexual trafficking in children and has won rave international reviews.  
It is In Swedish and another Eastern European language with English
subtitles and is 105 minutes long.  We worked through the local
independent film group here and are bringing the movie, along with a panel
discussion for two showings on November 2nd.  It might be worth looking
into if you want- although it is very expensive (our share was $400 for
sponsoring obligations) and the only way we afforded it was through
co-sponsoring and the publicity and anticipated ticket sales that the
local film group's network already had in place.  I can send you more info
if you are interested.

Meanwhile, if you have a minute to talk about some of the activities
you're doing, I would be very interested.

Thanks-

sean arthurs
