I have just attended the screening of TIGERS in San Sebastián, Spain, and hope that you all support and promote its screening in your country and local area. Thousands of people not associated with Breastfeeding have attended the screenings in Toronto and San Sebastián and given standing ovations. 

For those not familiar with this story...
The film is based on Syed Aamir Raza's life as a sales representative for Nestle in Pakistan and his decision to leave and expose the marketing tactics.
Dr Diamond Emmanuel had been the first to show Aamir the damage caused to babies through unsafe bottle feeding. Both men were later to leave Pakistan, but it was 7 years before Aamir's wife and children could join him in Canada and he could not return when both his parents died (within 3 months of each other). 

Both Aamir and Diamond were in SS. 

The film is directed by Danis Tanovic (Oscar winner for No Man's Land) who spoke at the POST-screening Press Conference about his commitment and the 8 year struggle to get the film made.. 

See babymilkaction.org/tigers (or their Facebook page) for more information and photos, and I've also posted some on Facebook.
