Those of you that attended our April meeting with Norman Solomon and Cindy Sheehan saw a rough-cut preview of the film. The response to the film was outstanding. Join us as we now get to see the finished version of the film.

War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of one administration after another.
