More:

Back in March, 2008, Iraq Veterans Against the War held a gathering
in Washington, DC, "Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan",
with testimony about the realities of war from veterans,
from Iraqis, from scholars and journalists.

*Next* week, on Nov 13th, the local chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War
will put on a similar event *right here in Urbana* -- as described here recently --
one of a series of Winter Soldier gatherings around the US this year.
Don't miss that!

But *this* week, on Thursday, Nov. 6th, please come watch a documentary film
about the March 2008 Winter Soldier in DC.

Be aware: some of the testimony makes grim listening and watching --
war is a terrible business, something mainstream media accounts rarely reveal.

Hope you can attend.   The film is about 90 minutes long.
