ITEM OVERVIEW
A three-DVD set—12 28-minute shows on the invasion and occupation of Iraq:
The Real Face of the Occupation
Coordinators: Jacquie Soohen and Brandon Jourdan
How US military occupation looks from the other end of the gun barrel. Was Abu Ghraib an exception or an extreme? How has Iraq changed since the fall of Saddam? What is life like under occupation?
On-the-ground footage shows the humiliation and dehumanization inevitable in a colonial situation.
Dance of Death
Coordinator: Mark Read
The American military in Iraq: lambs led to slaughter or centurions for the Empire? Either way, US troops are locked in a deadly interaction with the people of Iraq. Being a soldier isn't anywhere near the "Army of One" ads on MTV. Soldiers and their families speak out against the war, and their lost loved ones.
The Art of Resistance
Coordinators: Persheng Vaziri, Larilyn Sanchez, Molly Fink
The growing impact of artists and cultural performances that have invigorated and enlivened resistance to America's imperial war on Iraq.
Baghdad
Producer: Dario Bellini
A lyrical, moving, and disturbing video montage of the American invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Erasing Memory: The Cultural Destruction of Iraq
Coordinator: Suzy Salamy
The horrendous destruction of the museums and archives of Iraq, the oldest treasures of human civilization, in the wake of the US invasion of Iraq. Millennia of history were bombed, looted, and destroyed, and with them the memory and culture of Iraq.
National Insecurities
Coordinator: Jason Da Silva
Violence against immigrants, especially Arabs; imprisonment without trial, specifically for Muslims. Is the US government fomenting fear to inflame racial and ethnic divisions? History repeats itself as violence against immigrants and imprisonment without trial become routine.
The World Says No to War
Coordinator: Lucila Moctezuma, Georgina Aymerich, Pedro Valiente, DeeDee Halleck
Documents the massive protests by tens of millions of people throughout the world in opposition to the US invasion of Iraq. Sounds and images from 16 countries show passionate and creative reactions to militarism and occupation.
Standing with the Women of Iraq
Coordinators: Persheng Vaziri and Larilyn Sanchez
What has the US invasion and occupation meant for the women of Iraq? In this program, their passionate statements of resistance are inter-cut with actions by Code Pink, Women in Black, and others who have been at the forefront of protests against the war in the US.
Empire and Oil
Coordinators: Satya Colombo and Brian Drolet
Modern empires run on oil, and controlling these resources is key to the control and penetration of potential rivals. This program examines the recent history of the Middle East and the Iraq War in relation to the desire of Western powers to control "the greatest strategic prize in history."
Globalization at Gunpoint: The Economics of Occupation
Coordinator: Kareem Farooq and Brian Drolet
The military occupation of Iraq has enabled the US to enforce privatization of the Iraqi economy, in effect selling off Iraq's assets to foreign investors. A look at the challenges to privatization.
Resistance at Home
Coordinators: Jeff Taylor and Asaf Zulah
Millions of Americans have said "NO!" to the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the larger Bush agenda of clampdowns on free speech, increased invasion of citizens' right to privacy, and the elimination of civil liberties.
Channels of War: The Media is the Military
Coordinators: DeeDee Halleck and Matt Pascarella
The mainstream television networks have fanned the flames of war, and have profited from doing so. This program looks at how the corporate media has sanitized Americans' field of vision.
The World Tribunal on Iraq
Coordinator: Alpa Patel
The whole world is watching and the whole world is judging as well. Testimony from the New York Tribunal on Iraq, part of a world wide series of hearings that will conclude in Istanbul, Turkey in 2005.
