Film and Audience Discussion May 7, 2010

“Rethink Afghanistan is a brilliant masterpiece” - Thom Hartmann “A wakeup call for those who still believe our military should be in Afghanistan -- Rethink Afghanistan should be the Saturday matinee at the White House.” - Michael Moore “In-your-face, makes-you-think documentary. What are we doing there? Do these people really want us? An indispensable guide to what’s really going on in Afghanistan. Not what you read in the mainstream newspapers or see on television.” - Oliver Stone Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post, 10-4-09: “In Rethink Afghanistan, Robert Greenwald's powerful look at the war (and a film Joe Biden should see right away), Robert Baer, a former CIA field operative says, ‘The notion that we're in Afghanistan to make our country safer is just complete bull****... what it's doing is causing us greater danger, no question about it. Because the more we fight in Afghanistan, the more the conflict is pushed across the border into Pakistan, the more we destabilize Pakistan, the more likely it is that a fundamentalist government will take over the army -- and we'll have Al-Qaeda like groups with nuclear weapons.’” |
