 THE  WAR  http://www.deepdishtv.org  a benefit for the SF Bay Area 
 Independent Media Center  (http://www.indybay.org)  $5 suggested donation   
 Deep Dish Television announces special Bay Area screenings of an 
 installment of their recently completed series Shocking and Awful: A 
 Grassroots Response to War. The Real Face of Occupation, which includes 
 rarely seen footage of the war in Iraq shot by videographers David Martinez 
 and Urban Hamid. Their work can also be seen in Michael Moore’s 
 Fahrenheit 9/11. Martinez’s footage from Fallujah is being used to as key 
 testimony in the World Tribunal on War Crimes in Iraq which will take place 
 in Istanbul this coming June. The Real Face of Occupation was 
 co-coordinated by producers Jacquie Soohen and Brandon Jourdan for Deep 
 Dish TV.  The Real Face of Occupation shows footage from March 2003 to 
 April 2004. From civilian testimony of a US military attack on a clearly 
 marked ambulance to the destruction of sewage systems, the daily struggle 
 of Iraqis to meet their basic human needs is the focus of this installment 
 of the series. It is one of thirteen programs in the Shocking and Awful 
 series that comprises the work of over 100 independent video activists from 
 around the world. Several hundred-community cable channels around the 
 United States have carried the shows, as well as Free Speech TV on the Dish 
 Network.  The first national satellite network to reach access channels, 
 Deep Dish TV was founded in 1986. It aims to produce thought-provoking 
 programming that educates viewers by showing them a perspective rarely seen 
 on mainstream news.  'Mandate?', a half-hour documentary by Indymedia Video 
 and the Glass Bead Collective, shows resistance at the January 20th 
 inauguration of George W. Bush. The film shows the issues behind the 
 re-election of Bush and the reaction from protestors to the most expensive 
 inauguration in US history.  After the screening, there will be a screening 
 of footage from Fallujah, a new film from Deep Dish producers Brandon 
 Jourdan and Brian Drolet. The footage includes rare, never-before seen 
 footage from the US military offensive in November and December 2004.  The 
 screening will be followed by a discussion led by Deep Dish producer and 
 filmmaker Brandon Jourdan.  About Brandon Jourdan: Brandon is an
