Several progressive documentary films,
including Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, the Dixie Chicks movie Shut Up and Sing, and The War Tapes (which was just released on DVD), are “among the 15 movies shortlisted for a 2007 Best Documentary Oscar.”

Ahh, at the right-wing outlet mall, where the neocons buy all their news, policies, and campaign materials.

Heh. Bitterness…
November 16th, 2006 at 12:18 pmThat’s not fair to all the brilliant Conservative documentaries out there!!
Oh, that’s right – there aren’t any…
November 16th, 2006 at 1:46 pmOne of the most moving and relevant documentaries of this year is missing from that list. That film would be Sir! No Sir!, which told the little-known story of the GI resistance movement which took place at GI coffeehouses near military bases at home and abroad during the Vietnam War. This documentary is now helping the soldiers of today’s military realize that they can and should search their consciences to discover that the occupation of Iraq, like the war in Vietnam, was based on lies and that those soldiers have not only a right but a duty and an obligation not to participate in this illegal war and occupation in Iraq. As Lt. Watada basically said in his speech at the banquet table at the Veterans for Peace convention last August in Seattle, the war machine can and should be stopped from within.
November 16th, 2006 at 2:08 pmI went to see The War Tapes in the theater. There was a National Gaurdsman there to answer questions. He was basically there to cheerlead for the war.
Read my old blog post about it here.

November 16th, 2006 at 4:45 pmI need to get those films.
November 16th, 2006 at 6:49 pmWhy not Loose Change or Pentagon Strike.
