DESCRIPTION:"Aaron Glantz's courageous unembeded journalism explains the reality of the 
 US invasion and occupation of Iraq with a clarity and perspective sorely 
 lacking in mainstream media." \n- Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! 
 \n\nOCCUPATION & RESISTANCE: THE CONFLICT IN IRAQ \n\nWith Pacifica Radio 
 journalist and author of "How America Lost Iraq" \n\nAARON GLANTZ \n\nAnd 
 Toshikuni DOI's powerful documentary film \n\n"FELLUJA 2004" \n\nWednesday, 
 July 20 at 7 pm \nNew College Cultural Center \n766 Valencia St, San 
 francisco \nFree! \n\nThe unprovoked massacre of Iraqi civilians by US 
 troops in Fellujah in early 2004 was a turning point in the occupation, and 
 an armed resistance gained wider support. Aaron Glantz, Pacifica Radio 
 journalist and author of "How America Lost Iraq," will speak about the 
 situation in Iraq followed by Toshikuni DOI's remarkable documentary film 
 "Felluja 2004" and a Question and Answer session. \n\nAaron Glantz is the 
 author of "How America Lost Iraq" (Tarcher/Penguin) and a reporter for 
 Pacifica Radio and other media outlets. He has visited Iraq three times 
 during the U.S. occupation: for a month immediately after the fall of 
 Saddam Hussein; from February to May 2004; and during the elections in 
 January of 2005. His work from Iraq has also been syndicated to newspapers 
 around the world by Inter Press News Service. He is a founding producer of 
 Pacifica Radio’s national newscast, Free Speech Radio News. In the course 
 of his work he has also reported from Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, South Korea, 
 Indonesia, India, Vietnam, France, and Denmark. Before becoming an 
 international reporter, Aaron served as California State Capitol reporter 
 for Pacifica’s flag-ship station, KPFA in Berkeley, CA, where he won the 
 California Journalism Award for radio in 2000. \n\n"Falluja 2004" (55 
 minutes with English subtitles): Japanese video documentarian Toshikuni DOI 
 was in Falluja two weeks after the US invasion. He was one of the few 
 international journalists able to show the reality of the cost of the 
 invasion. Falluja has become a symbol of the resistance movement against 
 the occupation by the US forces. In April 2004, the US forces invaded 
 Falluja with several thousand US soldiers. About 730 people were killed and 
 2800 were injured in the siege and attacks by the US military in one month. 
 He interviews medical workers and teachers as well as people in the 
 community about this horrendous assault and the cost of it for the people 
 of Falluja. Falluja today is off limits for all press and the US military 
 prevent any record of what is going on and what went on. \n\n\nSponsors:
