RUSH TO WAR

Time: 7:30 PM (Doors open at 7 PM)
Place: Hampton Congregational Church

In today's post 9/11 world, director Robert Taicher searches for the rationale behind the war in Iraq, exploring the failed policies of several administrations in an expertly crafted full-length documentary. What he presents is a raw, provocative look into America's "War on Terror" and its effect on our society, our credibility, and most importantly, our security.

Among those featured in the film are Rev. Jerry Falwell, former U.N. chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter, former ambassador Joseph Wilson (husband of outed CIA operative Valerie Plame), columnist Molly Ivins, N.Y. Times journalist Chris Hedges, writer Robert Scheer, scholar Noam Chomsky, former Senator George McGovern, and historian Howard Zinn, who said of the film: "Totally compelling...full of provocative ideas." The online news site Commondreams.org calls Rush To War "A must-see..."
