DESCRIPTION:July 6\nIn the Year of the Pig\n\nLocation: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th 
 St.  Off of K St, between 19th and 20th, next to the back-end of Old 
 Spaghetti Factory.  7:00 PM.  Admission: $5.00.\n\nEmile de Antonio's 
 stunning Academy Award-nominated anti-war documentary from 1968 on the US 
 in Vietnam, filmed at the height of our involvement.  Upon initial release, 
 reaction against it was so strong that theaters which ran it received bomb 
 threats and had screens painted over.\n\nInterspersing footage from Vietnam 
 with interviews of politicians, academics and military and intelligence 
 personnel, the film traces the history of Vietnam and how it was 
 manipulated by external forces, ultimately resulting in the Vietnam War.  
 de Antonio shows mastery at simply allowing people to talk, and thus hang 
 themselves with their own words - a tactic which Michael Moore is also very 
 adept at.\n\nNot only is this film important for historical reasons, but 
 maintains much relevance given our current involvement in Iraq.  Listening 
 to some of the interviews in this doc seem very strangely familiar - as if 
 you have very recently heard extremely similar statements supporting the 
 reasons for the US being in Iraq...\n\nWe are doing regular weekly film 
 screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM - most are $5 (unless 
 otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time to 
 time. \n\nYou can always check http://www.shiny-object.com/screenings/\n\n
