Brixton Stop The War Presnts:
4 short films, including 2 recent films exposing the war crimes in Fallujah.
Fallujah:City of Ghosts/Guardian Films & Channel 4/ 15 mins 2005.
It's just 3 months since the battle for Fallujah: a massive onslaught by the US forces involving air bombardment, tank fire and groud troops.
But what really happenend inside the city? Did the US really rid it of insurgents? What became of the people who lived there?
In a special report a hospital doctor from Baghdad travelled to the Fallujah area to find out. Dr Ali Fadhil went first to Habbanyah a town to which some of the Fallujah's 350,000 residents fled when the Americans attack began.
Legacy Of Fallujah/ 11mins / 2.14.05
This amateur video was shot on the first day of one of the biggest festivals in the muslim year. But instead of buying new clothes for their children and visting family and friends, the men of Fallujah are digging graves.
Dear Mrs Blair/ Camcorder Guerillas/ 16 mins/ 2004
A video letter to Cherie Blair from Glaswegian mother Rose Gentle whose son Gordon was killed in Iraq on 28th June 04.
Rose has never been politically active before but she turned her grief and pain into a campaign to bring the British soldiers home from Iraq.
Only the Beginning: 20mins/News Reel Collective/1971/B&W
In April 1971, 1000s of GI's, marines and regular army, veterans and active duty personnel come to Washington DC to denouce their participation in that "dirty war" and demand it be ended immediately.
The film begins with the demonstration in Washington. In front of the capital, we see veterans come before the crowd and throw their medals away.
