[Peace-discuss] Winter Soldier II filmmakers (who also made Sir! No Sir!) seeking support

[Stuart Levy]

Briefly: the same people who made Sir! No Sir! are making a documentary
about the "Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan" event/testimony this spring.
They'd like to have the new film out in September -- in time to have an impact
for this election season.  They're asking for contributions.

     A NEW FILM FROM SIR! NO SIR!

 FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE YOU KNOW!

This year, a scrappy, determined band of soldiers and veterans
turned this country on its head.

On March 13-16, Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) held Winter
Soldier/Iraq and Afghanistan: Eyewitnesses to the Occupation in Washington,
DC.  Over one hundred active duty soldiers and veterans publicly
testified -- from their own experience -- about what they consider to be the
immoral and illegal nature of those wars.  They demanded immediate and
unconditional withdrawal, and intend to force this issue onto the national
stage.

Displaced Films (Sir! No Sir!) and Northern Light Productions (Unfinished
Symphony) are producing the only documentary film that will be made about
this historic moment, and the intense battle leading up to it.  If you liked
Sir! No Sir! you will love this new film.  Winter Soldier/Iraq and
Afghanistan will answer the question "Can a new GI Movement happen
today?" with a resounding "Yes!"

The Winter Soldier Investigation was by any account a powerful,
explosive, and controversial antiwar event, timed to mark the anniversary of
the invasion of Iraq five years ago.  No one who witnessed it could come
out the same.  But just as importantly, it transformed everyone involved
in profound and unexpected ways. That transformation, both large-scale
and deeply personal, is the subject we explore in our film.

    WE NEED YOUR HELP

We are in a desperate race to make the film and have it in the world
by September this year, right in the height of the election campaign.
We cannot make it without your financial support, and the more money we raise
the faster the film can be completed. Every donation of $50 or more will get
an advance copy of the DVD when it is available.  Donations of $1,000 or more
will be credited in the film.

But don't limit yourself. This is a chance to play a direct, critical
role in making history and forging a new future.

[About their earlier film: Sir! No Sir! tells the long suppressed story
of the GI movement to end the war in Vietnam.  This is the story of one of the
most vibrant and widespread upheavals of the 1960s- one that had a profound
impact on American society yet has been virtually obliterated from the
collective memory of that time.]
