"The Revolution Will Not be Televised" at Concordia University, Canada

On Friday, March 15th approximately 50 people attended a film screening of "The Revolution Will Not be Televised" at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. This event was hosted by Hands Off Venezuela Montreal in coordination with UberCulture Collective Concordia. Alex Grant, the National Coordinator for HOV was brought in from Toronto to speak after the film and answer any questions people had.

The movie was enthusiastically received by everyone. After the film, Alex Grant spoke about the Bolivarian Revolution and how it has been spreading across Latin America all the way up to Mexico, the doorstep of the United States. The discussion was engaging and interest in socialist ideas opposed to the capitalist system were expressed by many people in the room. Most people signed up to the HOV email list and many people expressed interest in getting involved in the campaign in Montreal. A handful of DVD's were sold to interested people along with some books, pamphlets and stickers about Venezuela and socialism.

This event is a major step forward for Hands Off Venezuela in Montreal. This has been the most successful HOV event has ever organized in Montreal and we hope to organize many more in the future. Near the end of May in conjunction with La Société Bolivarienne du Québec, HOV Montreal are bringing the international secretary of the HOV campaign, Jorge Martin to Montreal and will be having a speaking event about the current situation in Venezuela.
