"Ché" Roadshow at IFC Center in NYC

From the IFC Center website:
November 26, 1956; led by Fidel Castro (Demian Bichir), a band of 80 rebels sails to Cuba. Among these young rebels is Argentine physician, Marxist, soldier, Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Benicio Del Toro, Best Actor winner at the Cannes Film Festival). Nation-less, strapped for resources and fueled only by determination, the group engages in swift, bloody battle to free the Cuban people from the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che and his soldiers wrestle the nation's resources and affection from Batista's grasp. Though considered a hero by some, Che becomes a hugely controversial figure. At the height of his fame and power, he disappears. Entering South America incognito, Che recruits another band of guerilla fighters in the harsh Bolivian jungles. They embark upon a mission to spark revolution throughout Latin America.

To harness the power of women on the Internet to promote women’s issues.

To create an opportunity for a "meeting of minds" across generations and media platforms.
To unite women’s voices behind the issues that the vast majority of women support, such as education, healthcare, workplace fairness and economic security.
To position women’s issues and their advocates for the incoming administration.
To draw new audiences to women’s issues, especially those who are Internet-focused and can cross-pollinate to increase activism.
Expand the audience of women engaged in online media activity and activism.
