DESCRIPTION:Rethink Afghanistan is a 2009 documentary about the ongoing war in 
 Afghanistan, featuring experts from Afghanistan, the U.S., and Russia 
 discussing critical issues like military escalation, how escalation will 
 affect Pakistan and the surrounding region, the cost of war, civilian 
 casualties, and the rights of Afghan women. As part of the filmmaking 
 process, acclaimed Director Robert Greenwald (Iraq for Sale: The War 
 Profiteers, Outfoxed, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices) traveled to 
 Afghanistan to meet with and interview members of Afghanistan's parliament, 
 bloggers, women's rights organizations, and groups committed to the peace 
 movement. The ultimate goal of this documentary campaign is to raise the 
 level of public discourse, compel people to ask key questions about the 
 war, and urge Congress to hold oversight hearings. Already, the campaign 
 has successfully helped retired Corporal Rick Reyes and other veterans 
 testify before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and meet with 
 members of Congress. Reyes, who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, 
 testified before Sen. John Kerry and the Senate Foreign Relations 
 Committee. He told the committee, "Sending more troops will not make the US 
 safer; it will only build more opposition against us. I urge you on behalf 
 of truth and patriotism to consider carefully and Rethink 
 Afghanistan."\n\nDiscussion will be led by Paul Cox of Veterans for Peace\n
