John Pilger is one of the world’s pre-eminent investigative journalists and documentary film-makers. His best-selling books of reportage have in the words of Noam Chomsky “been a beacon of light in often dark times.”
He will discuss his new book, Freedom Next Time (Nation Books) and show his film “Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror.” This film, set in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Washington, looks at President Bush’s “war on terror” and the “liberation” of countries where bloodshed and repression continue. Followed by audience dialogue and a book signing.
“Courage to Resist puts the slogan of “support the troops but not the war” into practice every day. Their work to publicize and support the courage of GI resisters is an essential component of stopping the war machine.”
