Coastside Peace is presenting “Peace Flix, a night of progressive film and open discussion” on Friday. Admission is free. There are three films on the program.
There’s Something about W (2004 - 40 min) A wry look at the policies of the Bush administration, offering a lively mix of analysis and levity. Director Robin Chin juxtaposes the president speaking in his own words with insightful responses from people like Molly Ivins, Paul Krugman, Al Franken, Arianna Huffington and many others.
Orwell Rolls in His Grave (2003 - 97 min) Director Robert Kane Pappas draws disturbing parallels between George Orwell’s classic novel of Big Brother totalitarianism “1984” and the current relationship between big media and government in the United States.
Hijacking Catastrophe, 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire - (2004 - 64 min) Examines how a radical fringe of the Republican Party has used the trauma of the 9/11 attacks to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home.
That’s 3 1/2 hours of movies for the price of none.
The films will be shown at the Johnston House Ocean Shore Depot Building on Friday, Sept 24 at 7pm. The building is located at the south end of Main Street, 1/4 mile up Higgins Purissima Road, near the historic Johnston House.
