Asbury Park Higher Education Center OCTOBER 29, 2004 ALL in ROOM 402
Brookdale Community Collegeâs Diversity Council & Politcal Science/History Club present: 3 political films. 1 friday. 4pm: Uncovered: the war in Iraq In his documentary feature, filmmaker Robert Greenwald chronicles the Bush Administrationâs determined quest to invade Iraq following the events of September 11, 2001. The film deconstructs the administrationâs case for war through interviews with U.S intelligence and defense officials, foreign service experts, and U.N. weapons inspectors â including a former CIA director, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even Presidentâs Bushâs Secretary of the Army. Their analyses and conclusions are sobering, and often disturbing, regardless of oneâs political affiliations. 6pm: bush family fortunes: the best democracy money can buy Palast was the guy who did the initial spade work on revealing the Saudi/Bush Cartel connection -- and the implications for September 11th and the Iraq War. He is also the intrepid BBC journalist who uncovered the great felon purge that helped Jeb steal the Florida vote for his brother, George W. In this DVD, Palast connects the dots as he sleuths through the murky world of the Bush Cartel. It's not a pretty picture. It's kind like leading a spelunking expedition through a sewer system. If the mainstream media were doing its work, there would be a hundred Greg Palasts across America, but for the moment, there is only one -- and he works for the BBC and a British newspaper. 8Pm: unprecedented: the 2000 presidential election This is the riveting story about the battle for the Presidency in Florida and the undermining of democracy in America. Filmmakers Richard Ray PÃrez and Joan Sekler examine modern America's most controversial political contest: the election of George W. Bush. What emerges is a disturbing picture of an election marred by suspicious irregularities, electoral injustices, and sinister voter purges in a state governed by the winning candidate's brother. George W. Bush stole the presidency of the United Statesâ and got away with it.
