Movie
Wednesday, 08 Nov 2006 at 8:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
This is the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporate America goes to war. Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows, and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so. The film is 75 minutes long.Cosponsored By:
