Rethink Afghanistan
on Wednesday, 16 June at 7:30pm.
It'll be in the New Mechanics Institute, 3 North Sherwood Street (This is just off Shakespeare Street, by the Orange Tree).
It's a full length documentary film (75 minutes) by Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Foundation. It comes highly recommended by the Stop the War office in London, and by Norwich Stop the War.
It has sections on:
* The military escalation,
* The destabilisation of (nuclear armed!) Pakistan,
* The cost of the war,
* The civilian casualties (wedding parties, etc.),
* What the war means for Afghan women, and
* Some former CIA men (and they should know!) on how there can be no victory.
Entry is free, but you may be asked to throw money into our collection bucket.
