DESCRIPTION:WAR MADE EASY: \nHow Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death 
 \n\nThis riveting documentary exposes the 50-year long pattern of 
 government deception and media spin that have dragged the U.S. into one war 
 after another from Vietnam to Iraq. The film highlights remarkable footage 
 of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, 
 revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically 
 disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential 
 administrations. It gives special attention to parallels between the 
 Vietnam war and the war in Iraq. Narrated by Sean Penn and guided by Norman 
 Solomon’s meticulous research and tough-minded analysis, the film 
 presents disturbing examples of propaganda and media complicity from the 
 present alongside rare footage of political leaders and leading journalists 
 from the past, including Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Defense Secretary 
 Robert McNamara, dissident Senator Wayne Morse, and news correspondents 
 Walter Cronkite and Morley Safer. \n \nBefore and after the film, 
 everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House. \n\n$5 donations 
 are accepted. \n\n
