www.youtube.com/watch The War Tapes 9:53; part 1 of 10
(the entire movie, and thewartapes.com/trailer/" , is on youtube free)

The peoples' media are arriving, there are several new documentaries that are counting on people

buying them to share with you at free showings.
Also, there are increasingly trailers of such movies available on sites like youtube.com.
www.youtube.com/watch Congressman Ryan brings it 3:03; 12,000,000$/hr in
Iraq, like it says, he loses it!

www.youtube.com/watch 'Shadow Company' Trailer 2:50; the one that really

got me the most of the whole following list.

It hurts deep, life is ever cheaper than cheap; good thing info is even cheaper!
media to the people, media to the people! right on!
I thought we would be hearing from our vets in the streets, today's boys are more savy, they
have it on video, and they know how to share it:

New Homegrown Documentaries Industry Makes Timely Agitprop

These films are following a new marketing paradigm for civically focused documentaries. Eshewing
the profits that go with major markets inclined to shut out content like this anyway, they aim
for direct sales motivated by hosting free screenings. As a marketing strategy this is more
concerned with getting out the word than it is effective at turning a profit.
In one of the following clips ( www.youtube.com/watch , \
Preview of Interview with Robert Greenwald 2:44; of 'Walmart: High Cost of Low Prices'), Robert Greenwald
speaks to the appeal that being invited to see it by co-workers, freinds, and family has for
people who would not want to help fund the film.

An exciting new documentary thewartapes.com/trailer/ 'the War Tapes', made of footage by
the troops on the ground, is playing this coming week,
Fri Oct 6th, thru thurs. 12th, at www.timescinema.com/ Times Cinema</a>, at 5906 W Vliet
St, Milwaukee, WI., at 7 & 9:00pm, with a 3pm matinee on sunday. You can see the trailer at
thewartapes.com/trailer/ , and look up screenings at thewartapes.com/screenings/
thewartapes.com/screenings; though it is not nearly as well developed, or populated, as the list
for the following one, which is sure to propagate much better online.

Recently released, and aimed effectively at small showings by citizens, is Robert Greenwald's
iraqforsale.org/ 'Iraq for Sale', ( iraqforsale.org/videos.php , trailer), hook up
with locals who will show it to you at iraqforsale.org/screenings.php . Go meet new
people, or, better yet, buy the DVD ( iraqforsale.org/ ), and host a party (
iraqforsale.org/screenings.php ), where you can meet freinds new and old.

Another similar documentary telling the soldiers' tale now showing locally is
www.thegroundtruth.net/ The Ground Truth, which is also not quite as booked online as
Robert Greenwald funded Brave New films' 'Iraq for Sale'.

As I have yet to see any of these three, I cannot yet speak to whether the better movie was made
by money, or vets, but my opinion is not one that matters.

The Ground Truth screenings can be found at
events.thegroundtruth.net/page/...simple , enter your zip code and radius, or
see recent Milwaukee listings events.thegroundtruth.net/page/...il/wx2 .

There's more! a film that combines the others' themes, by focussing on the civilian contractor
"vets" perspective. www.shadowcompanythemovie.com/ 'Shadow Company', the (2:50)
www.youtube.com/watch Trailer for which is quite promising.

Also, www.empowermentproject.org/sso.html "Soldiers Speak Out" (
www.youtube.com/watch Trailer 4:51), which appears to have quite the online
activist community behind them.

So, we have four videos from those who have fought there, and two on profiteering, one of which
is both. Five fine films due largely to the efforts of those who served.

Youtube.com has also given me back some of what the media used to offer, it is there for
example, that I became aware of the fact that there is this one guy, Jack Cafferty (
www.youtube.com/watch War Crimes Immunity: "What Are We Becoming?",
www.youtube.com/watch "Just Do It!"), that just might make 'TV' worth
watching again, the paradigm of grassroots marketing as conciously elaborated by Robert
Greenwald (in www.youtube.com/watch "Preview of Interview with Robert
Greenwald"), and this well spoken young man's www.youtube.com/watch "Re:
War Crimes Immunity: "What Are We Becoming?"" 3:56.
