Screening of Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, a film by Rory Kennedy
THURSDAY Dec. 13, 2007, at 7.00 pm at the ALASKA PEACE CENTER (Stone Soup Community Center Bld, 507 Gaffney Rd),
Join the Alaska Peace Center and UAF Amnesty International Club for a screening and discussion of Emmy Award winning HBO documentary “GHOST OF ABU GHRAIB”.
The documentary is an examination of the psychological and political context in which torture and humiliation occurred at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Through dozens of interviews, the film exposes responsibility for the abuses at the prison that goes right to the top: Prison guards at Abu Ghraib were instructed to use torture tactics approved by the Bush administration. You can find more information about the film and the GHOSTS OF ABU GHRAIB Campaign, at www.ghostsofabughraib.org.
Warning: For mature audience only (graphic content including male nudity)
Next Thursday’s event at the Alaska Peace Center is part of Amnesty International “86 Days” campaign” to denounce torture and call for the shut down of Guantánamo and other shameful detention centers. The 86 Days campaign is separated by two infamous dates: October 17th marked the first year anniversary of the Military Commission Act (MCA) and January 11th marks the anniversary of the first detainee held at Guantánamo Bay. You can find more information about the campaign and the event at http://www.amnestyusa.org/houseparty/ghosts/housepartylist.php, or by contacting Claire Alix at calix@alaska.net or the Alaska Peace Center at 374-2822
