Conversations with Ninotchka Rosca

"Those of us who are working to stop the unbridled aggression against the world that has been unleashed by the Bush White House should make every effort to defend Professor Jose Maria Sison, and to support the Filipino people as they struggle to defend sovereignty and build peace."—Ramsey Clark Former U.S. Attorney General

A contemporary and compelling conversation with one of the great living revolutionary leaders in the world today. Sison spearheaded the revival of the national democratic movement among youth, workers and peasants in the Philippines in the 1960s, refounded the Communist Party of the Philipines from 1968 to 1977 and fought from underground against the fascist U.S.-backed Marcos regime, which imprisoned and tortured him for nine years. Sison is today in exile in the Netherlands, where he is fighting efforts by the U.S. and the Philippine regime to imprison him. He is Chief Political Consultant to the National Democratic Front of the Philippines and chairperson of the International League of Peoples' Struggle. The interviews with Sison span his life fighting for the cause of the Filipino people and oppressed people everywhere.
