Petaluma Film Series presents A F R O @ D I G I T A L
On Sunday, December 13 at 7 PM, thePetaluma Film Series along with Petaluma Progressives present AF R O @ D I G I T A L, directed byBalufa-Bakupa-Kanyinda

Afro@Digital begins with a provocative question: Why speak of new technologies on a continent which wakes up and goes to sleep to the terrorism of poverty? In other words, how can Africa escape the logic of poverty and unequal development by making sure the digital technology doesn't pass it by, become an agent of neocolonialism or marginalize it still further?

As Nigerian filmmaker Ola Babogun warns: we must ask what is the purpose of this technology and what type of technology is most appropriate to us?...Technology is not a value in it itself.

The facilitator of this event is the Petaluma Film Series. This film will show at The Aqus Café, 2^nd & H Streets in Petaluma. There is a suggested donation of $4.00, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The Aqus Café is offering full beverage service for our series this season, so come early and enjoy a snack and drink. For information, call Peter deKramer at 707 765-0888, [email protected].
