Independent Media in a Time of War - A Film
Thursday, April 21 8:15 pm - 9:00 pm
Reeve Union Rm 227 BC, UW Oshkosh Campus
Part scathing critique, part call to action, "Independent Media In A Time Of War" is a hard-hitting documentary composed of a speech given by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! illustrated by clips of mainstream media juxtaposed with rare footage from independent reporters in Iraq. The documentary argues that dialogue is vital to a healthy democracy. "Independent media has a crucial responsibility to go to where the silence is," says Amy Goodman, "to represent the diverse voices of people engaged in dissent." She makes a compelling argument that the commercial news media have failed to represent the "true face of war."
This documentary is sponsored by the UWO Campus Greens and SEAC. Free Popcorn!! Donations accepted to cover cost of showing. For questions on Thursday's events, email oshkoshgreens@yahoo.com
