WHAT: Belfast, Maine screening of Rethink Afghanistan
WHEN: Thursday, August 27 2009 07:00 PM
TICKET PRICE: $7, RSVP required below

Too many critical questions surround the war in Afghanistan that only public debate and Congressional oversight hearings can answer.

Rethink Afghanistan is a ground-breaking, full-length documentary focusing on the key issues surrounding this war. Diverse testimony, including a unique segment presenting many women of Afghanistan, covers both problems and solutions, while graphic footage of civilian casualties from U.S. air strikes illustrates why military force is ineffective at solving Afghanistan's many problems. Hear from veterans of the war as they testify to Congress about facts on the ground
all shows 7-9pm
Tue. 8/25 Frontier Cafe - Brunswick
Wed. 8/26 Railroad Sq. Cinema - Waterville

A panel discussion will follow the film and invite Q&A from the audience. Jake Dilliberto, a Marine veteran and member of Vets for Rethink Afghanistan, will join a representative of Brave New Foundation on the panel. Both Maine's senators and reps have also been invited to the panel.
