DESCRIPTION:Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill has now become a filmmaker - and in 
 fact is a protagonist - in the recently-released documentary film "Dirty 
 Wars", which is based on the book he wrote and published in 2013, "Dirty 
 Wars: The World is a Battlefield". On Sunday, January 19, Peace Action of 
 San Mateo County will host a free screening of "Dirty Wars" at the 
 Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez Avenue (at 
 Ellsworth) in San Mateo. The event begins at 7 PM. Enter Beck Hall at the 
 UU from Ellsworth.\n\nGerminating from an investigation of a night raid 
 that has gone haywire, "Dirty Wars" is an 85-minute film that explores, 
 through Scahill's eyes and with his narration, various U.S. military 
 adventures in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere. These 
 actions are carried out in secret, by military officials, "special ops" 
 troops and intelligence operatives, about none of whom we are meant to know 
 anything.\n\nScahill shows how such warfare (including the use of drones) 
 causes destruction and death among other countries' military and citizens 
 alike, undermining our standing in the world. Our own citizens are not 
 exempt. "Drawn into the stories and lives of the people he meets along the 
 way," the film's web site says, "Scahill is forced to confront the painful 
 consequences of a war spinning out of control, as well as his own role as a 
 journalist."\n\nScahill is the National Security Correspondent for The 
 Nation magazine and is a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation 
 Institute. His earlier (2007) book, "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's 
 Most Powerful Mercenary Army", won the George Polk Award given for special 
 achievement in investigative journalism.\n\nJoin us on the 19th for this 
 eye-opening documentary. We will offer an open discussion following the 
 screening.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/12/30/18748548.php
