Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________ A Special Message from AlterNet http://www.alternet.org _______________________ Dear AlterNet reader, Greetings. I'm writing to urge you to see the highly regarded film "Uncovered" -- now in theatres near you -- and to invite fast-moving readers to a special Fight Fox event and concert in NYC on September 1st. -Don Hazen, Executive Editor "Uncovered" Hits the Theatres As many readers know, AlterNet worked closely with filmmaker Robert Greenwald* to bring his powerful film "Uncovered: The War on Iraq" to the public some months ago, collaborating on a highly successful "alternative" distribution model. The film dovetailed nicely with the AlterNet/Seven Stories/Akashic book "The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq" ( http://fivelies.com ). Then we helped launch Greenwald's record-breaking "Outfoxed" along with our own sally against Fox News -- but more on that in a moment. Now a significantly revised, completely re-edited version of "Uncovered," distributed by Cinema Libre Films, is in theatres across the land, with new in-depth interviews with arms control expert David Kay, plus new segments on media coverage of the run-up to the war and the disinformation that led to the invasion. Please go see this documentary, even if you have seen it already; the new stuff is really juicy. Just as importantly, recruit friends and family to see this terrific piece of filmmaking -- go this week or over the weekend to help ensure the film gets a long run. The film's strength is that it looks at the Administration's case for war in Iraq through the eyes of Republicans, Democrats and Independents -- all experts in their fields, from the CIA to the Pentagon to weapons inspectors. http://www.truthuncovered.com/ [. . .] REVIEWS FOR 'UNCOVERED' "Sober and devastating" -Time Magazine "A must-see for every American who cares about their country." -Jean Oppenheimer, Screen Daily "Greenwald's cinematic legal brief is thorough, dispassionate and damning." - Glenn Whipp, The LA Daily News "I don't see how anyone, Republican or Democrat could even think about voting for Bush after watching this documentary." -Moby "Where Mr. Moore's film builds its case through sight gags, suggestive juxtapositions and emotional appeals, Mr. Greenwald's film is sober and meticulous. ... Americans now want a rooting interest in their journalism, just as they do in their sports and entertainment. Mr. Moore knows how to give that to them, and so -- in a much more dignified, documented way -- does Mr. Greenwald." -Dave Kehr, NY Times, 8/20 (*In the interest of disclosure: Robert Greenwald is the Vice President of the board of directors of the Independent Media Institute, parent organization of AlterNet, and a long time supporter of the organization.) ____________________________________________________________________________ Did a friend forward this to you?
