[GV Show Special] Trinidad & Tobago: Anti-smelter activism meets the Internet · Global Voices
Georgia Popplewell

Atillah Springer is a journalist, activist and blogger from Trinidad and Tobago and a member of a protest movement which, earlier this year, succeeded in driving the aluminium industry giant Alcoa out of a community in rural Trinidad where they had proposed to establish a smelter under somewhat dubious circumstances.
In this podcast I talk with Atillah about the movement's use of the Internet in their organising activities.
