Sheffield Indymedia's "Summer of Truth" Film Festival

Sheffield Independent Media Centre, 26-06-2006 14:16

Sheffield Indymedia has organised a series of film screenings that challange the concept of the perputal 'war on terror' and questions the real motives of the governments and corporations who are promoting this war.

These films have never been seen on TV or screened in the cinema.

One of the central themes of many of the films is the proposition that the attacks in New York and Washington on 11th September 2001 were actually an inside job organised by elements within the US administration in order to win public support for an offensive war to gain control of oil resources in the Middle East.

The films are screening every Sunday evening in July at SIF (Sheffield Independent Film) on Brown Street, entry is a suggested donation of £1 and there will be time for discussion about the issues raised in the films after each screening.

The titles, times and further information about the screenings follow, there is more details on the Sheffield Indymedia web site including links to download many of the films:

 http://www.sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/

The films were due to be screened at the Matilda Social Centre but have had to be moved to SIF due to the eviction, more details on this story:

Please send any enquiries about the screenings to:

BUSHITES REACH NEW LOW - dying for lies no longer in disguise

J. Wizard, 22-06-2006 18:54

Again, realize, FOX, CNN, and CBC will all in the thousands,
receive this information about 9/11's Ahmad, but will refuse
to support honorable Police officers, our Humanity's cause for
Freedom through Justice, or our beliefs in any religion.
They, as murderous sadists, fascists, obstruct Justice for
ourselves by refusing to report on the facts of why America
continues to fight, dying sacrificed, while censoring your
cries for understanding. Read more >>
