“THE GROUND TRUTH” September 22 Hear and witness the lives of our soldiers in this penetrating film. The shocking ground conflict is only a prelude to even more challenging battles these reluctant heroes face upon their return home.

“WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE; A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS”

September 29 As the world watched in horror, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television news, director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster, but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort.

“ABANDONED” October 13 www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/aban.html

Through a close look at the personal impact of recent immigration laws, this film depicts the severity of current detention and deportation policies. Lives are changed forever, as legal residents find themselves being torn away from their American families and sent to countries they barely know.

IRAQ FOR SALE; THE WAR PROFITEERS” October 27 www.iraqforsale.org/about.php. This searing indictment takes us inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. It uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.
