Transnational Shoes in Flight from Iraq to Quebec: Videos from a rally in Montreal

21Dec
by Maximilian C. Forte

A written commentary will follow in the next post, but for now, two videos that I made pertaining to Saturday’s rally in Montreal (see the announcement on this blog), organized by Block the Empire, in solidarity with imprisoned Iraqi journalist, Muntadar al-Zeidi (yes, the famous shoe thrower). On Saturday, we were all shoe throwers.

First, a video summary of the protests and march through Montreal:

SHOES AGAINST BUSH and HARPER, MONTREAL RALLY, DEC. 20, 2008

Vodpod videos no longer available.

more about “SHOES AGAINST BUSH and HARPER, MONTRE…“, posted with vodpod

if that does not work for any reason, here it is again…

Second, a remixed compilation, with guest appearances by George W. Bush, produce for some added “context”:

A GLOBAL SHOE FLY ZONE: SHOES AT BUSH, FROM IRAQ TO QUEBEC

Also, see the great photos of the event taken by Anirudh Koul, on his flickr page.

    Wonderful, Max. Those of us who could not participate in person, gave it our best shot–virtually. I hit Bush 5 times in the video game circulating on the ‘net.
