We had a showing of Sir! No Sir! last week, 3/25/06, in the Charlotte NC Public Library, featuring
Ahmad Daniels, who was incarcerated for over two years (of a 10 year sentence) for speaking out against the war while actively serving in the United States Marine Corps.
As a Vietnam Veteran, I wasn’t as active than, while still on Active Duty, {but knew full well what others were doing} untill I was Discharged and joined in the local activisms that were taking place in opposition of that ‘Illegal Invasion/Occupation/Destruction!
This is a must see Documentary to better understand those times, in a country that is Still in Denial, and has Once Again Allowed Fools To Destroy an Innocent Country and People, as well as to understand what Actually brought about the End of that Extreme Tragedy of Death and Destruction!

“Sir! No Sir!” combines exceptional artistry and insightful analysis with great story telling. This is no facile agitprop piece, but a careful dissection of a growing military rebellion that permanently altered American society, but has largely been forgotten. International Documentary Magazine

When the dust settles: Anger from US soldiers back from Iraq
Presented by Jeremy Paxman{Click on Report Link in Title, Video Link is on the Right Hand Side Titled ‘Former U.S. Soldiers’!}
We have a powerful film this evening. We follow a group of former US soldiers who have returned from Iraq deeply affected by the experience.
As they march across America to protest against the war they reveal their own experiences of the conflict, make some disturbing allegations about military practices in Iraq and reflect on how it feels to come home.
This is a short Flash/Music Video, with a Iraq War CO Speaking before Song and another Iraq Vet, IVAW member, speaking at end, Must See!

VIDEO SPECIAL | <h6>Katrina Plus Seven Months</h6>
A Film by Chris Hume
The latest video in the Hurricane Katrina series by Chris Hume. It has been seven months since New Orleans was nearly wiped out by the storm, and Chris Hume is revisiting some of the people he met the first time, when the city was still flooded and under martial law. Also, a coalition of Iraq War veterans and Katrina Survivors march to New Orleans from Mobile, Alabama, to speak out against the occupation of Iraq and to help rebuild the Gulf Coast.
