Host a Film Screening
Filmmaker Glenn Ellis has given us permission to make the documentary film ‘Delta Force’ available for non-commercial screenings for educational purposes. This gripping 50-minute film made in 1995 is an invaluable introduction to the issues at the heart of the Wiwa v. Shell case.
The film tells the story of Ken Saro-Wiwa, the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), Shell’s environmental devastation in Nigeria, and its partnership with the Nigerian military government to violently suppress the growing human rights and environmental justice movement in the Niger Delta.
We encourage supporters to organize educational screenings of the powerful documentary. We will provide a DVD of the film, educational and promotional materials, and tips on how to make your event most effective.
Contact us to request a DVD of Delta Force.
On November 10, 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa, an acclaimed writer and leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), was hanged along with eight other Ogoni leaders, after a trial before a military tribunal that was condemned around the world as a sham. Ken Saro-Wiwa's last words were: "Lord take my soul but the struggle continues."
