No Justice, No Peace to Show on November 7
Lycoming College will host a library forum entitled No Justice, No Peace at 7:30pm, November 7, as part of the 9/11 Remembrance. No Justice, No Peace is a 48-minute color video produced and directed by Lynn Estomin, Chair of the Art Department at Lycoming. It examines the worldviews and strategies for social change of four young organizers from Cincinnati, Ohio in the wake of civil unrest in Cincinnati, September 11, and escalating violence in the Middle East.

No Justice, No Peace offers a window into the world of today's politically active youth. It presents portraits of four Ohio college students who are active in a variety of issues including the fight for equal education, affirmative action, affordable housing, civil liberties, and women's rights; an end to racial profiling and police brutality; and the Israeli-Palestine conflict. While all four share a passion for justice and equality, their perspectives, strategies and tactics differ - offering the audience a look at the complexity of youth activism in the new millennium.

"No Justice, No Peace is the most inspiring film I’ve seen about Social Activism in years," said Dr. Robin Kelly, Professor of History and African Studies, NYU, and author of Freedom Dreams and Race Rebels

No Justice, No Peace, was chosen for national distribution by Filmakers Library in New York City. It will open the Cincinnati Women’s Film Festival in March 2003, and it will be screened at the Ajijic Festival Internacional de Cine in Mexico. It has also been chosen as the Jurors’ Choice and will be screened in November at the Female Eye Film Festival in Toronto, sponsored by the National Film Board of Canada.

Lynn Estomin’s award-winning videos have been screened at film and video festivals internationally, broadcast nationally on PBS, and won awards at the American Film Institute (AFI) Film & Video Festival, Canadian International Film Festival, Mostra de Video Independente de Barcelona, Charlotte Film & Video Festival, Rochester International Film Festival, and the Cincinnati Film Festival. She has received grants from the OH and PA Arts Councils, Art Matters Inc., Kodak, Ilford, SIGGRAPH, Luce Foundation and Women’s Film Project.

The forum will be held in G-11, Barclay Lecture Hall, Heim Building.
