Alternavision Films, based in Los Angeles, has launched the production of a new documentary. Joan Sekler and Bill Haugse, the producers/directors of this film will reveal how U.S. soldiers are refusingto fight in Iraq. Some soldiers have already been to Iraq and refuse to deploy again and some have refused to deploy for the first time. Some are facing courtmartials and prison. They have publicly stated that the war in Iraq is illegal and immoral. Some have filed for conscientious objector status and many others have gone AWOL. Over 1,000 active duty soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries have signed an on-line Appeal to Congress to stop the war and bring the troops home.
Woven into the stories of GI resisters to the war in Iraq will be:
**How the U.S. occupation is the root cause of the devastation of schools, hospitals, water supply,electricity, sewage systems, plus massive unemployment, increased poverty, malnutrition, development of typhoid, cholera, etc.
**How 4 million Iraqis have had to flee their country or have become internally displaced refugees
**How the U.S. is constructing huge PERMANENT military bases throughout the country, demonstrating their plans to stay in Iraq
**How Iraq's oil law will enable Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, BP etc. to get a large share of the profits
This is a very big undertaking but they are very committed to finishing this documentary if the money can be raised to finish it. For anyone who wants to be an investor, get Executive producer credit and get a share of the eventual profits,please contact Joan Sekler directly. Otherwise, if someone wants to make a tax-deductible donation, they can make out a check to PUBLIC INTEREST PICTURES and at the bottom of the check, they should write "for Iraq project"
