Im still on the MIT mailing list, I just got this today but what should I expect???
It would be nice if we had video interviews of the people that lived during the Revolutionary War to see what they said.
Hi,
I thought this message was going to be more widely distributed. Regardless of how you feel about the recent political events, this is a very informative documentary. Drop by, if you have the chance.
Thanks,

Subject: Documentary screening
Hello Everyone,
If you have a chance, please stop by for the screening of this documentary. It is a rare glimpse into a situation that is gripping us all and it allows the viewers to reach their own conclusions about the politics that are both overt and hidden beneath the surface.
Take care and feel free to forward this to others,

"Under the Skies of Baghdad"
A documentary directed by Mario Balsamo & Stefan Scialotti

MIT Room 10-250
Post-film discussion moderated by xxxxxxxxxxx with a brief introduction by Dean xxxxxxx,
the event is open to all; admission is free
Please join us for the US premiere of a new film about the
lives of ordinary people under attack in the Iraqi capital.
The film was shot and edited in late 2002 and early 2003.
In their interactions with the film-makers, Iraqis of all
ages reveal not only what they think about past, present,
and future US attacks on their country but also how they
cope with the effects, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
"You didn't feel what we felt. You watched it on television,
just like a game. Whereas it was death. They destroyed
everything. ... Our sky became their sky, because they
played in it with their bombs ... in our sky."
Using a cinema verite style that allows the viewer to see how people live their everyday lives and
the contradictions of Iraq's complex society, the filmmakers create
a work that is both vivid and poignant. This film is a must-see for all who seek
to understand what war really entails for the ordinary person.
Sounds like the kind of stories they run on Mtv.
The Left programming those young minds.
After the movie they are probably going to riot lol
