DESCRIPTION:free screening\n\nSHADOW COMPANY (2007)\nby Nick Bicanic and Jason 
 Bourque.\n\nThis Canadian film examines the profession of the "private 
 security contractor," - the most recent euphemism for the age-old 
 profession of the mercenary. Nick Bicanic trained with Blackwater in order 
 to make this film which follows some of the private security contractors in 
 Iraq, where the use of private military companies (PMCs) is far more 
 extensive than in any other war in modern history.  SHADOW COMPANY also 
 explores other sites of contemporary conflict where mercenaries play a 
 significant role and examines the history of the profession through 
 interviews with war journalists, historians, ethicists, soldiers and 
 mercenaries themselves.\n\nKino21 regrets that due to unforeseen 
 circumstances concerning international screening rights, we are not able to 
 screen Romuald Karmakar's WARHEADS for the fifth and final program in our 
 HOW WE FIGHT series.  Instead, we are substituting this free screening, 
 which takes us back where we started the series:  Iraq 
 today.\n\n"Fascinating, evenhanded documentary about the big business of 
 guns for hire. Flourishes of style - comic-book illustrations, video-game 
 scenes and news footage swirled together in an Oliver Stone-esque mélange 
 - give a flavor of the personalities involved while academics and security 
 experts fill in the historical and political context." -  LA Weekly\n\n
