DESCRIPTION:THE CARLYLE CONNECTION \n\nHere is a revealing documentary about the 
 international world of private equity banking.  The Carlyle Group, one of 
 the largest investment banks in the world, is based in Washington D.C. and 
 has accumulated its capital mainly by investments in the defense industry.  
 On their list of employees are people like Lou Gerstner (former chairman of 
 IBM), George Bush Sr., James Baker III, John Major (former British Prime 
 Minister), and Fidel Ramos (former Prime Minister of the Philipines).  The 
 Carlyle Group invests in areas that are closely tied to government policy:  
 aero space and defense, telecom, real estate, health care, and the banking 
 business.  With $16 billion under management, they have the reputation for 
 being the best-connected company in the world. Their list of private 
 investors includes George Soros, the Saudi Royal Family, and the Bin Laden 
 Family.  How does the Carlyle Group operate?  Who are the people behind the 
 Carlyle Group and how much power does Carlyle have?  This documentary 
 explores the fine line between the conflict of interests and a new global 
 way of doing business as usual.\n\nBefore and after the film, everyone's 
 invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House. \n\n$5 donations accepted \n
