Troops Home Now: The Case for Immediate Withdrawal
FOR MORE than a century, the U.S. claimed each time it invaded another sovereign nation that it was selflessly shouldering the responsibility of “civilizing” a backward population. This process became widely known as “the white man’s burden” after Rudyard Kipling’s 1899 poem of the same name, which described the conquered populations as “sullen peoples, half-devil and half-child.” more...

Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: “THE CIRCLE” , And ADiscussion on Life In Iran
Film: "THE CIRCLE" -
AND A DISCUSSION ON LIFE IN IRAN
With Whitney & Jerry Neufeld-Kaiser who have recently returned from Iran.
Banned in Iran, Jafar Panahi's THE CIRCLE is set almost entirely on the busy streets of Tehran--a place where women are restricted by numerous laws, including a repressive dress code. The beginning of the film focuses on two women who have been given temporary leave from prison and have no intension of returning. The film shifts from one woman to another as this eye-opening tale circles back on itself. Their world is one of constant surveillance, bureaucracy and age-old inequalities. But this stifling world cannot extinguish the spirit, strength and courage of the circle of women. Iranian cinema at its best and most politically aware.
