Tralee Anti-War Group presents

An Afternoon of DVDs showings including

"Route Irish"
Route Irish is a NEW feature-length film on the campaigns against
Irish facilitation of the US/UK Invasion of Iraq.

In the words of editor Eamonn Crudden, "Route Irish" "is firstly a vérite
documentation of the emergence between 2002 and 2004 of a broad
popular opposition to the US military use of Shannon Airport in the buildup to,
invasion of and occupation of Iraq.

It follows a loose network of politicians, activist groups and
individuals through the story of the rise, fracturing and sudden
decline and disappearance of this movement and retraces the way in
which their combined efforts, energies and strategies served to
effectively tear away the Irish State's veneer of Neutrality and
non-alignment in the post September 11th era of the 'War on Terror'.

It has, because of the progress of political events in Ireland, become
a strange and surreal portrait of the Green Party pre their elevation
to government."

also showing:
"The Israeli Wall"
Two American activists/film-makers set out to explore the impact of
The Wall on Palestinian lives.

"Control Room"
Control Room is a 2004 documentary about the invasion of Iraq and Al
Jazeera TV and the other news organizations that covered it.

Showings start at 3PM
