Independent Media in a Time of War from The Indymedia War & Peace Trilogy
DVD
Running time: 29 minutes
Part scathing critique, part call to action, "Independent Media in a Time of
War" is a hard-hitting new documentary by the Hudson Mohawk Independent
Media Center (www.hm.indymedia.org). This film is composed of a speech given
by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! illustrated by clips of mainstream
media juxtaposed with rare footage from independent reporters in Iraq. The
documentary argues that dialogue is vital to a healthy democracy.
"Independent media has a crucial responsibility to go to where the silence
is," says Amy Goodman, "to represent the diverse voices of people engaged in
dissent." She makes a compelling argument that the commercial news media
have failed to represent the "true face of war."

Dear Mrs Blair
A Camcorder Guerillas Film - 2004
Running time: 15 mins
Music by Belle and Sebastian

Rose Gentle's son, Gordon, was killed on the 28th June 2004 in Iraq, at the
age of 19. He joined the army at the Pollock Job centre six months before
his death.
In "Dear Mrs Blair", Rose appeals to the Prime Minister's wife to listen to
her "mother to mother",. She believes that Gordon's life has been wasted
fighting an illegal and unjustifiable war. Rose doens't want any other
families to suffer the loss of their children. Rose has turned her grief
into a campaign to bring British troops home from Iraq but so far her pleas
have fallen on deaf ears.
"The government has ignored my pleas", says Rose, "but when i am on my own,
i go into Gordon's room, close the door and just think something has to be
done".
