Join us this Thursday, November 12th for a special screening of our breakthrough documentary, Rethink Afghanistan. We’ll be joined by several compelling voices speaking out against the war: Daniel Ellsberg, Matthew Hoh, Sonali Kolhatkar and our very own Robert Greenwald.
After eight long years, and with words like “quagmire” and “new Vietnam” now being used to describe the situation in Afghanistan, the time is ripe for change. By educating people with our groundbreaking film and sharing the powerful voices of those who dare to speak out — this is how an opposition movement to the war will be built.
Featured Speakers:
Daniel Ellsberg, the man who helped bring about an end to both the Nixon presidency and the Vietnam War when he leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, a 7,000-page classified history outlining the true extent of US involvement in Vietnam.
Matthew Hoh, who recently became the first known US official to resign in protest of the Afghan war. Matthew has been featured in The Washington Post, on CNN and all over the media in recent weeks outlining his position against the war.
Sonali Kolhatkar, the founder, host and producer of the radio show Uprising at KPFK-FM, Pacifica Radio. Sonali is also the co-director of the Afghan Women’s Mission, which works in solidarity with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan.
Robert Greenwald, producer, director and political activist as well as founder and president of Brave New Foundation, a new media company that uses media to educate, influence, and empower viewers to take action around issues that matter.
You can help inspire the courage and conviction needed to stand up and speak out against the injustice being done to the people of Afghanistan by attending this important screening.
