Shut Up and Sing
On stage at a 2003 London concert, Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, spoke out about her beliefs on the impending invasion of Iraq and the U.S. President. It was an off-the-cuff remark typical of the lead singer's temperament. Natalie, and fellow Dixie Chicks Martie Magure and Emily Robison, thought little of it. But history and this film demonstrate that at the heightened moment of political polarization in the United States, many people did care, and empowered this simple, yet loaded remark to carry serious and long-standing ramifications. The documentary shows the band from their peak of popularity as the national-anthem-singing darlings of country music and top-selling female recording artists of all time, through the now infamous anti-Bush comment, and on through the days, months and years of mayhem. The film, also follows their lives and careers through the writing and recording of their first album since "the incident," making music, birthing babies, bonding, death threats and laughter.

World iView Speaker Series: "Who Killed Yugoslavia?"
Thursday, March 27th, 2008
12:00 pm
Arikara Room, MU
Presented by John K. Cox, Department Head, NDSU Department of History.
In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell, opening a path to enthusiastic change in nearly all of Eastern Europe and the disintegrating Soviet Union. But Yugoslavia was headed on a different path: to the wars of the long, grim period from 1991-1999 that killed and displaced tens of thousands of people. Yugoslavia subsequently saw genocide and ethnic cleansing, the largest massacres in Europe since the Holocaust, the creation of a whole new slate of countries in Europe, and continuing foreign policy headaches for the U.S. and NATO. What happened? John Cox explores and dispels the regional sterotypes and misnomers.
Friday, March 28th, 2008
12:00 pm and 2:00 pm
Century Theater, MU
Admission is $1. The goal is to raise awareness to stop violence against women and girls, and to raise funds for The Rape and Abuse Crisis Center in Fargo. This event is sponsored by the NDSU Women's Studies Program and the Laurie Loveland Memorial Foundation.
About V-Day. V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler’s award winning play The Vagina Monologues. 2008 marks V-Day’s 10 year anniversary and with it V-Day has introduced two new events, V-Day’s A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer: Writings on Violence Against Women and Girls, and the V-Day documentary Until The Violence Stops. In 2007, more than 3000 V-Day events took place in the U.S. and around the world. To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $50 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational, media and PSA campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 5000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq. The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
What is a V-Day Campaign? A V-Day Campaign is a catalyst for mobilizing women and men to heighten awareness about violence against women and girls. By creating this global community, V-Day strives to empower women to find their collective voices and demand an end to the violence that affects one in three women in the US and around the world.
