SUMMARY:Movie Screening: Above and Below the Ground
DESCRIPTION:Above and Below the Ground depicts the Indigenous women activis
 ts and punk rock pastors leading Myanmar’s first country-wide environmen
 tal movement. When the Myanmar army and a Chinese corporate giant force In
 digenous Kachin people off their ancestral land to build the massive Myits
 one Dam\, grandmother Lu Ra stands her ground. We see her and fellow activ
 ist Ja Hkawn struggle to save the sacred confluence and build a movement\,
  mentoring young female law student Hkawn Mai. A Kachin punk rock band mad
 e of pastors\, BLAST\, also takes action\, transforming their love songs i
 nto protest anthems. Our film follows these individuals through their jour
 ney of activism\, from their underground beginnings during Myanmar’s mil
 itary junta rule\, to supposed “democratic” reforms and a sudden milit
 ary coup. During such periods of fledgling democracy and dictatorship–in
  Myanmar and globally–our film asks how ordinary people can use the powe
 r of music\, community organizing and women’s leadership to challenge au
 thoritarianism. \n\n This event is hosted in collaboration with the Scho
 ol of Culture\, Media and Society and the Office of Sustainability.
