The Village Independent Democrats along with Judson Memorial Church will be sponsoring a special screening of Rethink Afghanistan, a documentary about the failed U.S. military policy in Afghanistan.
Thursday, October 8, 7:30 PM
At The Quad Cinema
34 West 13th Street
(between 5th and 6th Avenues)
$5 – $20 Sliding-scale tickets
Proceeds benefit the sponsoring organizations
From rethinkafghanistan.com:
After eight years of U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan, violence and instability still prevail. The military approach to Afghanistan is not succeeding; further application of American military force will not bring stability to the country or security to our own.
Rethink Afghanistan is produced by Brave New Foundation, the same people who brought us Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price and Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism. We look forward to seeing you there!
