Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: “WAR MADE EASY: HOW PRESIDENTS AND PUNDITS KEEP SPINNING US TO DEATH”
Film: “WAR MADE EASY: HOW PRESIDENTS AND PUNDITS KEEP SPINNING US TO DEATH”
(72 min, Loretta Alper & Jeremy Earp, 2007)
WAR MADE EASY reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of one administration after another.

From "Sicko" To Sanity: Doctors, Nurses, Caregivers and Activists Unite for Universal Healthcare
THE CAPITALIST system kills. That’s the message of Michael Moore’s inspired and heartbreaking new documentary, Sicko, about the American health care system.
The system kills people by denying them access to health care (18,000 deaths a year according to a study by the Institute of Medicine)--and it kills people’s hopes and dreams of living their life without disability, debt and dependence. more...

Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: “THE FARM: ANGOLA, USA”
Film: THE FARM: ANGOLA, USA (91 min, Liz Garbus, Wilbert Rideau & Jonathan Stack, 1998)
If someone goes to prison for life, does that person really have any life left? This documentary was written by a prisoner serving life-without-parole for murder, and it probes this question. Once a southern plantation, Angola is America's largest and oldest maximum security prison where 85% of the prison population are serving life sentences. THE FARM follows the lives of six inmates in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, and looks at the possibility of forgiveness as part of the criminal justice system. This film has been used all over the country to raise awareness about criminal justice issues. It is now mandatory viewing for all incoming correctional employees at the Louisiana Department of Corrections. An Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary 1999. Winner of many "Best Picture" awards, including Sundance Grand Jury prize, National Society of Film Critics, New York Film Critics Circle and Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
Event is FREE and open to the public! ..but Donations are kindly accepted).
