Having attended over 110 screenings in America, Mexico, Canada and Japan

Franklin López will continue his world tour in the UK this April his

film END:CIV ( http://endciv.com)



END:CIV illustrates the brutality of a civilization addicted to

systematic violence and environmental destruction, and the heroism of

those who confront it head-on.



Through rapid-fire video-game graphics, interviews, war footage and

satire END:CIV mocks the excesses of the global economic system, and

examines the necessity for effective resistance.



As the UK is beginning to experience more frequent environmental crises

resulting from climate change and a history of poor environmental

management this film will be instrumental in bringing awareness of the

need to confront the system which allows this destruction to continue.



After the screening Franklin will answer questions relating to the film

and ask those present to consider what action they are prepared to take

to save the landbase they rely on to survive.



An award-winning filmmaker, Franklin López hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico.



In 1994 he founded subMedia.tv and his work has been featured on

Canada’s City TV, Current TV, BET, and Democracy Now!



"By far, the most routinely-praised contemporary media activist is

Franklin López. His shows and films not only possess a distinctive look

and feel, but they also contain a wicked sense of humor … López’s work

engages in constructing a new vision where popular culture serves the

interests of the poor and dispossessed, where humor is reignited within

activism, and the D.I.Y. ethics of punk and hip-hop allow those with

talent and gumption to be the media, once again." – Chris Robé, Pop Matter
