Eyewitness Iran: The Real Story

On Tuesday, May 8, at 7:30 p.m., foreign correspondent Reese Erlich will give an eyewitness report on "U.S. and Iran: The Real Story" at First Baptist Church of Palo Alto.

Reese Erlich's history in journalism goes back thirty-nine years. He reports regularly for CBC, ABC (Australia), Radio Deutche Welle, and National Public Radio. In June 2005, he traveled to Iran with Norman Solomon and Sean Penn. Erlich's photos accompanied Penn's five-part series about the trip that appeared in the SF Chronicle and in an A&E documentary of Penn. He made another trip to Iran last year. He will be showing photos and sharing his observations from both trips. Erlich's latest book, The Iran Agenda: The Real Story of US Policy and the Middle East Crisis, will be published in October.

We will also have a potluck supper before the program! Bring a dish to share and join us for lively conversation before the presentation. Potluck starts at 6:30 p.m.
