Soldiers of Conscience will be shown this Friday, Oct.
26th at noon in BE1110. The screening is a sneak preview of a new
documentary which addresses the issue of soldiers who grapple with the
mandate to kill. Powerful footage from soldiers going through basic
training to recent footage of the war in Iraq creates a revealing look
at the power of the human conscience. Either the director or the
producer will attend the screening for a Q&A afterwards. Run time is 86
minutes. Here is a link to the film's website:

Dear activists, colleagues and friends,
It has been over 4 and a half years since the invasion of Iraq. 3,835
U.S. soldiers and over 1 million Iraqi citizens have lost their lives.
U.S. taxpayers have spent over $600 billion on this war with no end in
sight.
This Saturday, October 27th, you can take a stand. United for Peace and
Justice is coordinating over 150 peace groups across the country for
demonstrations in 11 cities:
Boston,
Chicago,
Jonesborough Tennessee,
Los Angeles,
New Orleans,
New York City,

Seattle.
There are also events in

We made a video to help get the word out. Watch it here and recruit your
friends to come:

Please come! Four years ago this month we documented the lies that
led us into this war in "Uncovered: The War on Iraq," and last year we
took on the mercenaries, cost-plus contracts, Blackwater and Halliburton
in "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers." Both of these stories are now
widely known in the broader media thanks to your efforts in screening
the films and organizing with them.
This new video is about getting people into the streets and DOING
SOMETHING.
See you on Saturday!
Robert Greenwald, Jim Miller, and the Brave New Foundation team
