“Rethink Afghanistan,” a Robert Greenwald documentary, will be shown Wednesday, Nov. 11 in Centennial Student Union.
The showing, presented by the Kessel Peace Institute, will be held from 7-9 p.m. in CSU 284C.
The documentary explores questions concerning the soundness of underlying U.S. assumptions, the impact of the war on Pakistan, the cost of the war, civilian casualties and the impact the war has on the conditions and rights of Afghani women.
Greenwald, a political activist, director and producer, founded the company Brave New Films, which uses videos to inform and inspire viewers to take action on a variety of issues. Some other Greenwald films include “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price” and “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism.”
News footage and clips in “Rethink Afghanistan” come from a variety of Afghani, Pakistani and American political analysts, aid workers and citizens. They advocate rethinking U.S. strategies in Afghanistan.
The Kessel Peace Institute encourages students, faculty, staff and the community to attend, hoping to stimulate evaluation of President Obama’s policy decisions and interaction with our public officials.
