*******************************

This week, the Human Rights Film Series continues with IRAQ FOR SALE: THE
WAR PROFITEERS. The Human Rights Film Series is an opportunity for campus
and community members to come together to view and discuss films pertinent
to those issues that face us all. Following each film, there will be a
discussion facilitated by a local campus or community member who has
expertise on the topic of the documentary. The films will be shown using
IDF's newly purchased projector and large screen. Light snacks and
refreshments will be available!

IRAQ FOR SALE: THE WAR PROFITEERS is the story of what happens to everyday
Americans when corporations go to war. Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald
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.

Robert Naiman, the national coordinator of Just Foreign Policy and a Board
member at IDF, will facilitate the discussion afterwards.
