THURSDAY 24TH NOVEMBER.....
‘THE END OF SUBURBIA: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of The American Dream'
World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply.
And
'THE OIL FACTOR: Behind The War On Terror'.
After assessing today's dwindling oil reserves and skyrocketing use of oil for fuels, plastics and chemicals, The Oil Factor questions the motives for the US wars in the Middle-East and Central Asia. This film documents the spiraling violence now engulfing Iraq, and Afghanistan, a country now conspicuously absent from the commercial media's news segments.
doors open 7pm, films from 8pm @ The Synergy Centre, 220 Farmers Road, London SE5 (nearest tube is Oval) free/donation

Director: Hamodi Jasim, 2004, 28 mins
One of the most violent acts of the current occupation of Iraq was the almost complete
destruction of the city of Falluja in last November's siege and assault by US forces.
There were no Western news crews inside the city, even Al-Jazeera had left. This film
comprises video testimonies from inside the besieged city, along with footage of injuries
and civilians under fire. It provides a concise introduction to the historical roots of
resistance to the occupying forces in the city and it conveys a real sense of what such attacks can do to a community.
Fallujah: April 2004
A film by Japanese independent journalist Toshikuni Doi
Fallujah has become a symbol of the resistance movement against the U.S. occupation of Iraq. In April 2004, the U.S. forces invaded Fallujah with several thousand soldiers. Why did Fallujah become a base of the resistance against the occupation? How did the U.S. forces attack? Who fought against them? And what damages and injuries did people suffer? Ten days after the siege of Falluja was lifted, Toshikuni Doi, a Japanese independent journalist, went into Fallujah. His documentary investigates the causes of, the conditions during, and damages from the siege. The documentary is primarily in Arabic, with English subtitles. DVD, 55 minutes.

"Film makers Against War & Indymedia cinema"
a bit of a typo - it looks like the film makers are against both war and the indymedia cinema!
