Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror (2003, John Pilger, Granada Media)
& shorts including Camp X-Ray

Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror is a hard hitting special report into the "war on terror" in which award-winning journalist John Pilger investigates the discrepancies between American and British claims for the 'war on terror' and the facts on the ground as he finds them in Afghanistan and Washington, DC.

"Astonishing...should be required viewing in every home, school and office. With facts bristling from his fingertips, Pilger revised the Bush/Blair version of events leading up to the conquest of Iraq to reveal an agenda of unprovoked aggression, excused and obscured by ruthless manipulation of September 11." The Guardian (UK)

& special guest Theo Simon, from ‘Seize the Day’ - “Bold, Beautiful, Frontline Folk, a voice for the voiceless, brave songs for a bloody age” The Guardian

9.11: . It looks at the effects of September 11 on the working people of New York City and was completed in the two weeks after the attacks.


Sunday, March 19th
Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's war on Journalism (2004, Robert Greenwald),
shorts & a discussion of the role of the media as a purveyor of terror

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's war on Journalism examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.

"an obsessively researched expose ... an unwavering argument against Fox News that combines the leftist partisan vigor of a Michael Moore film with the sober tone and delivery of a PBS special."
-Robert S. Boynton, New York Times


Sunday, March 26th
The Fourth World War (2003, Big Noise films)
& shorts

The Fourth World War is a film from the front lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war.

While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of this global conflict remains untold. The Fourth World War brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist.
The product of over two years of filming on the inside of movements on five continents, The Fourth World War is a film that would have been unimaginable at any other moment in history. Directed by the makers of This Is What Democracy Looks Like and Zapatista, produced through a global network of independent media and activist groups, it is a truly global film from our global movement.

Tickets £4/£2.50 concs.
