The Netherlands is a big importer of coal from South Africa, which arrives via the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, Europe's largest and second largest coal harbors. But what are the local impacts on people and the environment of the coal mining sector in South Africa? And what can we do from the Netherlands?

In cooperation with GroenFront!/Wij Stoppen Steenkool, Autonoom Centrum organises a film-screening and infotalk/discussion about coal mining in South Africa. Because of the summer break of the AC, the event will be organised at 'De Samenscholing', Beatrijsstraat 13, Den Haag.

With participation by South African activist Lucky Maisanye, and screening of the documentary 'The Bliss of Ignorance'.

** 19.30 doors open
** 20.00 screening of 'The Bliss of Ignorance'
** 20.30 presentation coal mining South Africa
** 20.45 presentation anti-coal activism in the NL
** 21.00 questions & discussion
