War Made Easy:How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" film

You can help turn an antiwar movie into a nationwide success. I'm writing about the new documentary, "War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death." It's based on my book, is narrated by Sean Penn, and is earning rave reviews: "Superb" (Howard Zinn); "Chilling and persuasive" (The Nation); "Damning" (Variety); "A tour de force" (editor of "An Inconvenient Truth ").

"War Made Easy" is now entering its third week of a theatrical run at the Roxie in San Francisco. If the movie succeeds there and at the Elmwood in Berkeley (as of Sept. 7), it will help our efforts to bring it to theaters across the country. So please come see "War Made Easy," spread the word and send this email to your Bay Area friends.

The movie uses stunning archival video to expose a 50-year pattern of White House deception and media propaganda that has dragged our country into one military intervention after another from Vietnam to Iraq. But it's not just about villains - rare footage spotlights heroes who have resisted the war barrage: people like Sen. Wayne Morse, Rep. Barbara Lee and Phil Donahue.

Please send this email to friends and spread the word. Info on "War Made Easy" and how to purchase it in DVD is athttp://www.WarMadeEasyTheMovie.org.

Sincerely,
