Jonathan Santos, a graduate of Sehome High School in Bellingham, joined the military and at the age of 22 documented his 37 days in Iraq on video and in writing; never knowing that day 38 would be his last. This documentary tells his story, as well as that of his family and the one survivor from the IED explosion that took his life. Jonathan's mother, Doris Kent will introduce the film, speak afterward, and answers questions from the audience.

This event features two films made by local Native youth. Canoe Pulling: A Lummi Way of Life (10 minutes) and March Point (1 hour) address the revival of canoe pulling for the Lummi Nation and how the Swinomish Tribe is being affected by the oil refineries at March Point. A panel discussion will follow the films with the founders of Longhouse Media and four Native youth who worked on the films.

This event is co-sponsored by the Social Issues Resource Center, Native American Student Union and Environmental Center.

Auction Block to Hip Hop is a theatre production about a big Hip Hop mogul named Set Fo' Life. He is at a big award show where he wins awards for his hit record "Pimpin' ain't easy," and on that night he is visited by three ghosts who take him back to the time of his great great great grandfather and grandmother who are leading a slave revolt. He gets taken to the time when his mother and father fell in love as black panthers, and sees himself fall in love with his girlfriend at an anti-aparteid protest. He soon finds himself at a crossroads where he has to choose whether or not to buy into the system that degrades black women and perpetuates black stereotypes or choose to be on the outside and fight the power.
