DESCRIPTION:Arms for the Poor  Experts explore how the arms industry in America 
 influences our Congress to encourage and expand the sale of high tech 
 weapons across the globe. This destabilizes entire regions and impoverishes 
 countries where "the poor cry out for food and doctors, not guns and 
 Generals."  25 min, 1998  In Whose Interest  Leads us on an eye-opening 
 journey, questioning the effects of U.S. foreign policy over the past 50 
 years, revealing a pattern of intervention, the film focuses on Guatemala, 
 Vietnam, East Timor, El Salvador, and Palestine/Israel. Archival footage, 
 photographs and media tidbits are dynamically interwoven with personal 
 eye-witness accounts and commentary from academics -- such as Noam Chomsky 
 -- religious leaders and politicians.   27 min, 2002  Singer Terry Bradford 
 (http://www.terrybradford.com)  will sing few peace songs before/after the 
 film screening.  Rush Rehm, professor of Classics and Drama at Stanford 
 will speak and lead a discussion after the films.  Rush Rehm is an author 
 of many books and articles and an activist in the peace and justice 
 movement, particularly in US relations with Nicaragua and Cuba.  He teaches 
 courses on Antigone & Contemporary Dissent, Performance & Politics, and a 
 seminar titled "Noam Chomsky: The Drama of Résistance" which presets 
 information and analysis to encourage action and activism.  Last year, he 
 directed the play "Sex for Peace: Lysistrata" - the world's best antiwar 
 comedy in which the women are antiwar activists who achieve peace by 
 offering the combatants, their husbands, an ultimatum: Put down your arms 
 or no more sex.  Rush also spent a week in jail, last spring for anti-war 
 protests at Lockheed Martin. \n
