TV Hayat in Raccoon, Tuesday, April 22, 6pm

[Ivo Skoric]

Hayat TV, the US government paid TV program in Bosnia, is 
coming to the US to see "how different ethnic and religious groups 
co-exist in a multi-cultural and democratic society." They chose 
Raccoon as a model of that co-existence. And they will be at our 
Space on Tuesday, April 22 at 6 pm. We are amused to be of help 
to the arm of US 'agitprop' in these trying times for American 
democracy. For info and directions click here:

Under the sponsorship of the United States Government, Hayat TV 
of Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina is to send a two- person 
television crew to New York and Chicago and several other 
American cities for a two-week working trip. The purpose of the trip 
is to produce a series of television programs on "The life of ethnic 
groups and religious groups in the U.S." to be broadcast in Bosnia. 
The Bosnian journalists wish to conduct interviews with clergymen, 
social workers, neighborhood organizations, and community 
leaders to understand the life of different ethnic groups and 
religious groups in the U.S.   The goal of the project is to show how 
different ethnic and religious groups co-exist in a multi-cultural and 
democratic society.    The Bosnian journalists wish to film the 
everyday activities of the members of these groups and how 
immigrants participate in matters that affect the welfare of their 
family and their community in general.  The journalists also would 
like to see how various groups working together to meet individual 
needs and common goals.
