Testimonies from the Majority World on the effects G8 policies have on their lives

G8, we don't want your model of development. We don't want your money. We want to build another world - Marcelo Calazans from Brazil

The next meeting of the G8 is set to take place in Gleneagles, Scotland in July 2005. However, the billions of people most affected by the policies and decisions of the G8 will not be present
in Scotland.

Raised Voices is a series of several short film clips of people from the Majority World speaking out about the impacts the G8 has on their lives and their countries. The people who speak are from countries such as; Brazil, South Africa, India, West Papua, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Kenya.

Available for free to screen

The clips are intended to be viewed individually or in collections of two or three. This is not a documentary, it is a chance to glimpse the lives of people who are directly impacted by G8
policies. They are freely available online at www.raisedvoices.net on multiple formats including
video, audio and full transcript.

The clips are also available to organisations and individuals who wish to screen them and can be used in film nights, street events, stalls, installations, stage events, websites, radio shows, podcasting, articles... a multitude of methods flexible enough for many creative uses and
diverse media. They work perfectly as shorts before feature presentations and you can request
the clips on mini DV, CD-Rom and VHS format.
Available for a small fee (mini-DV:£15/CD-Rom: £5/VHS: £10) plus postage and packing.
