Iraq for Sale : The War Profiteers is the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war.
Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.
Oct. 11 - West room ? VVAW?s WINTER SOLDIER INVESTIGATION
http://www.wintersoldierfilm.com/
In February 1971, one month after the revelations of the My Lai massacre, an astonishing public inquiry into war crimes committed by American forces in Vietnam was held at a Howard Johnson motel in Detroit . The Vietnam Veterans Against the War organized this event called the Winter Soldier Investigation. More than 125 veterans spoke of atrocities they had witnessed and committed.
This is the testimony that VIETNAM WAR VETERAN JOHN KERRY'S TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, APRIL 22, 1971 . It was this testimony that during the election, Summer of 2004, the Swiftboaters said were lies? that we now know was the truth. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-vietnam20aug20-sg,0,7940522.storygallery VVAW told the truth 35 years ago, but the Swiftboaters turned the election of 2004 on lies.
Oct. 18 - East room ? SIR! NO SIR!

In the 1960?s an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn?t take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point . And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam . It was a movement no one expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war in Vietnam .
Oct. 25 - East room ? UNCOVERED: THE WAR ON IRAQ
http://www.truthuncovered.com/
NEWS FLASH, MAY 4 2006 : Ray McGovern, featured in this film, publicly confronts Donald Rumsfeld on his claims to know where the (non-existent) WMD's were in Iraq . Watch the video. It is incredible.
In his documentary feature, UNCOVERED: The War on Iraq , filmmaker Robert Greenwald chronicles the Bush Administration's determined quest to invade Iraq following the events of September 11, 2001 . The film deconstructs the administration's case for war through interviews with U.S intelligence and defense officials, foreign service experts, and U.N. weapons inspectors -- including a former CIA director, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even President Bush's Secretary of the Army. Their analyses and conclusions are sobering, and often disturbing, regardless of one's political affiliations.
