moveon vigil + billionaires for bush tonight in dc + "uncovered"
INDEPENDENT WORLD MEDIA (http://www.iwmedia.org) presents:

"UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR"
Tuesday, September 14th
7pm at Visions Cinema Bistro Lounge
1927 Florida Avenue,
NW (CT & FL Aves in Dupont)
Washington, DC

FILM
In UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR, filmmaker Robert Greenwald (director of OUTFOXED) chronicles the Bush Administration's determined quest to invade Iraq following the events of September 11, 2001. The film deconstructs the administration's case for war through interviews with U.S intelligence and defense officials, foreign service experts, and U.N. weapons inspectors, including a former CIA director, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even the Secretary of the Army. Their analyses and conclusions are sobering, and often disturbing, regardless of one's political affiliations.

REVIEWS
"A sober and devastating critique of Bush's foreign policy."
--Time Magazine

"Uncovered: The War on Iraq is a must-see for every American who cares about their country."
--Jean Oppenheimer, Screen Daily

Q&A
