DESCRIPTION: “The film has sent shockwaves around the world.”  -- Amy Goodman, 
 Democracy Now!\n \nAFGHAN MASSACRE: THE CONVOY OF DEATH\n \nWere US troops 
 involved in crimes against humanity?  Come to a special showing of a film 
 the corporate media won't touch.\n \nThursday June 26, 7:00 p.m.\nNew 
 College Theater, 777 Valencia Street, SF\n \n“The film has sent 
 shockwaves around the world. It has been broadcast on national television 
 in Britain, Germany, Italy and Australia. It has been screened by the 
 European parliament. It has outraged human rights groups and international 
 human rights lawyers. They are calling for investigation into whether US 
 Special Forces are guilty of war crimes. But most Americans have never 
 heard of the film. That’s because not one corporate media outlet in the 
 US will touch it. It has never before been broadcast in this country.“ 
 – Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!   \n \nBroadcast for the first time in the 
 US by Democracy Now! on May 23rd, Afghan Massacre documents the slaughter 
 of up to 3,000 Afghan prisoners by Northern Alliance troops under US 
 supervision.  Thousands of Afghan prisoners were killed while traveling in 
 sealed containers on their way from Konduz to a prison at Sheberghan. The 
 bodies of the dead and some who survived were then buried in a mass grave 
 at nearby Dasht Leile. US special forces were closely involved and in 
 charge at the time. Were they involved in a war crime? The Pentagon denies 
 the events. The eyewitnesses tell what happened. \n \nJoin us for a showing 
 of the 50-minute film Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death by Scottish 
 journalist Jamie Doran and Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi. Sponsored 
 by the Network Against Disinformation, the New College Media Studies MA 
 Program, and the Social Justice Committee, Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian 
 Universalists.  Donations requested.  For more information call Cynthia at
