DESCRIPTION:Artists for Social and Political Awareness present:  "Peace, Propaganda & 
 the Promised Land"  Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a 
 striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis 
 in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. 
 coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian 
 conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests 
 of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military 
 base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public 
 relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from 
 the region is reported.  Through the voices of scholars, media critics, 
 peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, 
 Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how--through 
 the use of language, framing and context--the Israeli occupation of the 
 West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli 
 colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move 
 rather than an offensive one. The documentary also explores the ways that 
 U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of 
 thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR 
 campaign. At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics 
 and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics.  
 Our events are always free and open to the public!\n
