 Rise and Fall of Direct Action to Stop the War\nIn the winter of 2003, as 
 the US was building up to attack Iraq, people around the world responded 
 with a series of the largest protests in history. In San Francisco, the 
 response was a mass uprising orchestrated by Direct Action to Stop the War 
 (DASW) that shut down the financial district the morning after the war 
 started. But neither the uprising nor DASW outlasted the occupation. 
 Created by organizers from within DASW, SHUTDOWN goes behind the scenes for 
 a look at the successes and pitfalls of mass organizing.\n\nShorts:\nFirst 
 Casualty by Iraq Veterans Against the War documents their action  in Times 
 Square, NYC, with vets dressed in gear "detaining" volunteers. Peppered 
 with interviews with vets from Iraq and Afghanistan.\n\nInterrogation by 
 Nasser Rahmani Nejad\nAn emotional and chilling portrayal of interrogation 
 as a political prisoner.\n\nThe Other Side of the Wall by Nasser Rahmani 
 Nejad\nThe horrors of war are portrayed in stark contrast to the glory of 
 war through images of war, The Vietnam War Memorial and Iris Dement 
 lyrics.\n\nWith Us or Against Us by Sarina Khan Reddy\nAn artful 
 investigation into the difference between Freedom Fighters and Terrorists, 
 depending on US foreign policy needs at the time.\n\nThe Great Game: New 
 World Order? by Sarina Khan Reddy\nExplores colonization, globalization, 
 the current glorification of US war technology, the past glory of the 
 British Empire and Nazi war propaganda.\n
