The Nottingham Stop the War Coalition has arranged a Film Screening of John Pilger's latest film, The War You Don't See.  It's on Thursday, 31 March at 6:30pm in Nottingham Trent University's Chaucer Lecture Theatre 2, Goldsmith Street (just by the Nottingham Trent University tram stop)

The film will be introduced by Professor Richard Keeble from Lincoln University's School of Journalism, (custodians of the John Pilger archive) and will be followed by a discussion.

The War You Don't See, was shown late last year at The Broadway Cinema.  It was also shown on the main ITV1 terrestrial channel (but a little outside prime time, at 10:30pm).

This is your chance to see it at a reasonable time and, most importantly, to discuss it afterwards: the points Pilger makes about the media coverage of the War on Terror are crying out for discussion - and action!  The early start (Note: 6:30pm start) is so that we have time for discussion.

Pilger traces the history of ‘embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War 1 to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan.  See Rageh Omar, among others, admit that he could have done better!

We are very pleased that Professor Richard Keeble has agreed to introduce the film, and take part in the subsequent discussion.  Professor Keeble is the acting head of the University of Lincoln's School of Journalism, and has recently edited a book on peace journalism - for which John Pilger wrote a preface.

Entry is free, but you may be asked to throw money into our collection bucket.
