Via New Mexico Foundation for Open Goverment
Monday, August 24 at 7 p.m. at the Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe!
From Charlie Hebdo in Paris to the Rio Grande Sun here in Northern New Mexico, the press and free speech are under attack. Join with the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, the New Mexico Press Association and The Santa Fe New Mexican by sponsoring a screening of The Sun Never Sets.
This critically acclaimed documentary showcases Espanola's Rio Grande Sun newspaper and its fearless, honest investigative reporting. Watch the trailer about the film here. The film was written, directed and produced three years ago by Benson Daitz, who will be present for the screening and participate in a panel discussion to be held after the film. Also on the panel will be Greg Williams, FOG president; Bob Trapp, editor and owner of The Sun; and Ray Rivera, editor of The New Mexican.
The Sun was recently the victim of an arson attack, and The New Mexican, the NMPA and FOG stand in solidarity with The Sun. We are proud to present the film and host an interactive panel of First Amendment experts discussing how to protect and celebrate free speech!
Register to attend the event here. Individual tickets are $20 each. Or for $50, you'll receive your ticket for the screening and a one-year FOG membership. Sponsorship opportunities are also available!
