The 4ZZZ Anarchy Show is presenting a film night on Saturday January 21 at 6:00pm with director of END:CIV Franklin López of subMedia.tv.

END:CIV illustrates the brutality of a civilization addicted to systematic violence and environmental destruction, and the heroism of those who confront it head-on.

As Australia is beginning to experience more frequent environmental crises resulting from climate change and a history of poor environmental management this film will be instrumental in bringing awareness of the need to confront the system which allows this destruction to continue.

Are you sick of politicians giving themselves pay rises? Are you sick of them getting more in one year than what you get in five? Yes!! Join the Occupy Brisbane rally...

Occupy Brisbane is part of a global movement for change. We focus on what unites the majority of the world's people - the 99% - the vision of a democratic society based on human need, not the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are no longer willing to remain silent while governments and their corporate masters take away our rights and destroy the planet.
