DOUBLE FEATURE:<br><br>7:30<br>Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers - the story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go 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. Funded and distributed completely outside corporate America, over 3000 people donated to make Iraq for Sale. 75 min. <a href="http://iraqforsale.org/">http://iraqforsale.org/</a><br>
<br>9:00<br>Candy - Two young bohemians hooked on each other -- and on smack -- head down the path to perdition in this potent drama directed by Neil Armfield. Giddily in love, Dan (Heath Ledger) and Candy (Abbie Cornish) soon find themselves swept up in a vortex of addiction that inexorably unravels their relationship and their lives. Geoffrey Rush is outstanding as the indulgent chemistry professor (and functional junkie) who supplies the couple with heroin. 108 min. <a href="http://www.dendyfilms.com.au/candy">http://www.dendyfilms.com.au/candy</a><br>
