Subject: "Waging Peace", a new doc from Empowerment Project


Hi all,

Democracy University is using "Waging Peace," the Empowerment Project's

latest documentary and they have offered it to us for fundraising and to

inspire and re-energize our communities.   We can raise funds through

house parties, salon showings, community events, and other venues, with

discussions and action plans to follow.



This video captures the excitement and hope of February 15, 2003 - the

world's largest recorded protest in history - and focuses on how we can

maintain and utilize the energy of the peace movement to push past corporate
and

government power so the voice of the people will be heard.   This is an

exciting film, it's a bit like having a cheerleading team reminding you that
there is a

larger community in the world that still resists the policies of this

administration.  "Waging Peace" premiered at the Global Peace Film

Festival, was shown at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and

recently won the Burke Award for Best documentary.



This film features many dynamic speakers including: Archbishop Desmond

TuTu, Harry Belafonte, Susan Sarandon, Angela Davis, Pete Seeger, Holly

Near and leaders within the movement such as Leslie Cagan, Jamie Vasquez,

Medea Benjamin, Reverend Graylan Hagler, Phyllis Bennis, and many more.

"Waging Peace" documents the emergence and evolution of the World Peace

movement with people from around the globe speaking against the war,

speaking for peace.



You can purchase "Waging Peace" for $19 by visiting the Empowerment

Project's website at  http://empowermentproject.org/order-du.html, and a

portion of that will be donated to us.  If you wish to purchase by mail

with check or money order please use the mail-in form on the website.



Two other Empowerment Project full-length films,  the Academy Award

winning "The Panama Deception" and "Coverup: Behind the Iran Contra

Affair" are both highly relevant to what is happening today.  The lies

being told today are the same lies told by the same people about the

invasion of Panama  and in the Iran-Contra affair.  These are the same

players manipulating the people of the world again. Learn from history what
is happening today. The facts are clear and

correct, this is the actual truth.



The Panama Deception - Made all the more timely by the current war on

terrorism. This film documents the untold story of the December 1989

invasion of Panama, the events which led to it, the excessive force used,
the

enormity of death and destruction, and the devastating aftermath.  -

1992  Format: VHS

Running Time: 91 min



Coverup: Behind the Iran Contra Affair  - Strikingly relevant to current

events, this is an investigative documentary about world-wide covert

activities backed by the U.S. Government:  activities that were NOT revealed
by the

Iran-Contra Hearings of the U.S. Congress.  -  1988  Format: VHS

Running Time: 72 min


These films and others are offered to Democracy University supporters on

a special ordering page:  http://empowermentproject.org/order-du.html


Sincerely,

  Democracy University
