War Made Easy

The new critically acclaimed film by the Media Education Foundation, War Made Easy, is now playing around the country. War Made Easy, narrated by Sean Penn and featuring author and media critic Norman Solomon, offers a scathing indictment of five decades of U.S. media coverage of American-led military interventions. The film exhumes remarkable archival footage to make the case that American presidents of both parties have relied upon deceptive rhetoric and a complicit Washington press corps to win public support for successive wars. The Northampton, Mass. premiere will include a discussion with Solomon following the screening. Here are the details: Date: Friday, September 28, 2007Time: 7:30 p.m.Place:Academy of Music274 Main StNorthampton, MA Tickets: $8, available online in advance or at the door.
