IRAQ FOR SALE
The tales of war, profit, honor, and greed that emerge from the private military industry often read like something out of a Hollywood screenplay but the private military industry is no fiction. Private companies like Blackwater USA are becoming significant players in conflicts around the world including Iraq, supplying not merely the goods but also the services of war. Acclaimed Brave New Films director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.
Join us again as we screen and discuss this important film with Jamiah Adams from Brave New Films.
