"NOT IN MY NAME" A powerful new documentary film has been launched to tell the story of the US attack on Afghanistan.which we DIDN'T see on our television screens. Narrated by Jeremy Hardy, the film presents powerful evidence that the US attack on Afghanistan has not helped defeat terrorism - in fact, the film suggests, the US military actions have resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians and made the world a much more dangerous place. The film explains the background to the war, and the central part the US played in actually creating the power of the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. It also shows the strength of the anti-war movement hardly reported in the British media. It explores the way the control of television coverage has become a central issue in the war, with mainstream broadcasters relaying government propaganda and independent TV stations the targets for US bombs.
