THE
PANAMA DECEPTION
A riveting Academy Award winning documentary, this special extended version is made all the more timely by recent U.S. invasions and the current "war on terror".
THE PANAMA DECEPTION documents the untold story of the December 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama, the events which led to it, the excessive force used, the enormity of the death and destruction and the devastating aftermath.
 Acclaimed filmmakers Barbara Trent and David Kasper uncover the real reasons for this internationally condemned attack, and reveal General Manuel Noriega's longstanding relationship with the C.I.A., theD.E.A, and George Bush, Sr. Utilizing devastating footage, expert commentary and eyewitness testimony, the film shines a spotlight on this pivotal moment in U.S. history. Network news clips and media critics contribute to a staggering analysis of media control and self-censorship used to deceive the American public--a film hauntingly relevant today.
An example of documentary journalism at it's best, THE PANAMA DECEPTION is "...tough, provocative, highly opinionated...an answer to the official United States Government line about the 1989 invasion of Panama." (The New York Times)
New DVD Features: Follow-up Interviews with filmmakers Barbara Trent and David Kasper. The Politics of Demonization and Fear; The Future of Panama and Latin America ; Panama to Iraq; The Trajectory of U.S. Militarism; Panama after the Invasion, with former Panamanian Diplomat Humberto Brown, Phyllis Bennis (Institute for Policy Studies), and former CIA analyst David MacMichael; Trailers from GoodFilms.org; A Resource Guide with live web links; Filmmakers Biographies.

SOLDIERS SPEAK OUT
Soldiers Speak Out is a powerful, first-hand testament to
the reality of the military experience, told entirely in the words
of American veterans who have been to war and are now opposing it.
We hear how they came to join the military, about their experiences
in training and in war, and what led to the turning point when they
decided they could no longer, in good conscience, participate in
the war, or keep silent.
Soldiers Speak Out sheds light on the growing and courageous
anti-war and anti-occupation movement within the military and their
families. This half-hour documentary serves as a counter-recruitment
and organizing tool for activists, schools, and organizations. It
provides a sober view of the war in Iraq and an important counterpoint
to the "stay-the-course" rhetoric of the Bush administration.
The
DVD is packed with loads of bonus features, in addition to the documentary:
92 minutes of extended interviews with the veterans, 31 minutes
of award-winning shorts: Beyond Babylon, 7 min, Camp Casey, 7 min,
CAMS Promo, 2 min, Leave My Child Alone, 11 min, Looking Down, 4
