WMD also screens Monday, Oct 17 at 6:45 PM at the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton.
LSE grad Schechter is an investigative journalist, author and blogger-in-chief of Mediachannel.org, a global media issues network. The film shows how corporate media outlets "did more selling than telling" about the Iraq war and were complicit. While the film focuses on US networks, it features prominent British journalists as well as well as the role of Arab media. It is an insider film with an outsider perspective often favorably compared to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911.
Everyman Expose screening of 'Weapons of Mass Deception' followed by Danny Schechter Q&A session at 3pm on Sunday 16 October at the Everyman Cinema Club, Hampstead (diagonally opp Hampstead tube). To book tickets (£15 each) please visit www.everymancinema.com or call the Box Office on 0870 066 4777.

ABOUT THE FILM
About 'Weapons of Mass Deception'
Having tracked TV coverage of the Iraq War on a daily basis for Mediachannel.org, Danny Schechter editor of mediachannel.org, investigates the media war that took place alongside the military war, fought with cameras, satellites, armies of journalists and propaganda techniques. Featuring footage from inside Iraq and inside the media, 'WMD' busts through so-called 'objective reporting' to challenge US media complicity with the government and its co-operation in presenting the Iraq War the way it did. Additional 'WMD' Screening with Q&A at the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton, on Mon 17 Oct with TV broadcast on ITV4 in November. http://www.wmdthefilm.com

ERR IRAQI PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID
15.10.2005 19:53
MICHAEAL MOORE AND VARIOUS OTHER KEY FIGURES SUCH AS GEORGE GALLOWAY HAVE ALREADY BLOWN THE WATER ON THE RACIST IDEOLOGY OF THE AMERICAN GOVERMENT.
WE KNOW IRAQ WAS A WAR BASED ON LIES AND NOT TO HELP THE IRAQIS
WE KNOW IRAQ WILL BE IN AS MUCH DEBT TO THE US AS SOME AFIRICAN NATIONS
WE KNOW IRAW NEVER HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCUTION GEORGE BUSH JUST "THOUGHT" THEY HAD.
TO ME THIS FILM ISNT GONNA TELL US ANYTHING WE DONT ALREADY KNOW
