The year in television started with a bust — or to be more precise, a writer's strike — but Fresh Air's TV critic says there were plenty of TiVo-worthy programs in 2008. Prominent among them: AMC's Mad Men.

Go well, do well my children. Cherish sunsets, wild creatures and wild places. Have a love affair with the wonder and beauty of the earth." Stewart Udall, from Message to our Grandchildren

Just in time for Earth Day Santa Barbara Permaculture Network hosts a free community event, the film premiere of Stewart Udall & The Politics of Beauty with award winning filmmaker John de Graaf participating in a discussion & Q&A following with community members describing Stewart Udall’s connection to Santa Barbara and the first Earth Day.

Celebrating the life and legacy of former U.S. Congressman and Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, this beautiful film tells the inspiring story of Udall as an advocate of social and environmental justice, international cooperation, the arts, and most of all, the protection of our shared environment and magnificent natural beauty, leading the way with much of the environmental legislation we now take for granted. Stewart Udall’s record and accomplishments are perhaps unmatched by any other Interior Secretary, yet most Americans know very little about him.

John de Graaf Bio: John De Graaf has been producing and directing PBS documentaries for more than 40 years. He spent 31 years at KCTS, the Seattle PBS affiliate. Fifteen of his programs have been broadcast nationally in primetime on PBS, including his 1997 hit special, Affluenza. He has directed and written many biographies and history programs, including the PBS national Earth Day 1990 special, For Earth’s Sake: The Life and Times of David Brower, which includes an interview with Stewart Udall. He is an author, filmmaker speaker and activist with a mission to help create a happy healthy and sustainable quality of life for America.

In coordination with The Mexican Consulate in Oxnard, the Oxnard Performing Arts Center Corporation (OPAC) is pleased to announce its next visual arts exhibition, LUCHA LIBRE SIEMPRE, curated by Rafael Perea de la Cabada. This solo exhibition features work shot in the early 90’s, and continues to the present day, photographed throughout Southern California by photographer Bob DeBris. The show includes images of some of the greatest Mexican wrestling icons of the 1980’s and 90’s. The work also includes profiles of the new crop of luchadores both male and female in the Lucha Libre scene.

Canadian-born DeBris has called Ventura County home for 30 years. His photography documents funny, offbeat and different perspectives within subcultures as diverse as burlesque and gatherings of believers in aliens. Remarks DeBris, “Luchadores famous and not so are individuals who have dedicated their lives to this spectacular form of entertainment. Their motives are as varied as the moves, makeup and personas each one has adopted, giving life to the character they become in the ring. For some it's the realization of a lifelong dream—for others a family tradition. A few luchadores see it as a foot in the door to untold wealth. It’s a celebration of Mexican cultural heritage. It’s entertainment—it’s male bravado—its broken legs and ruptured disks—a momentary spotlight of glory—adoring fans—it’s vaudeville—morality tales—it’s about violence—good guys and bad guys—-about crooked referees—about dignity and indignity."

Hex Wrestling Promotion (HWP) will present two live matches at the exhibit’s opening reception. The first match will be between LAtigo Blaco and Harlekin VS. Técnicos Indio Azteca and Scarecrow. The second match will be between Sicario and Impacto Sagrado VS. Lobo X and Nightwing.

Event is FREE and open to the public.
Attendees are encouraged to dress in their best luchador attire at the OPENING RECEPTION.
