In our continuing attempts to encourage citizens to join us in protest of the war, we are presenting a Sundance Grand Jury Award winning movie" WHY WE FIGHT".
Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy?
Has the military become too important in American life?
Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.
Filmed during the Iraq War, this documentary dissects America's military machine with a keen eye to answering the question: Why does America engage in war? Through personal stories of soldiers, government officials, scholars, journalists and innocent victims, the film examines the political and economic interests and ideological factors, past and present, behind American militarism.

We held a movie night in our continuing efforts to engage other like minded citizens to come out on the Third Friday for our Iraq Moratorium. We had 13 attendees view the movie, “Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety”. There was a good discussion afterwards we did attempt to show how ALL our countries ills are very linked to our continued occupation in Iraq.
