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. http://iraqforsale.org/

9:00
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. http://www.dendyfilms.com.au/candy

Stereo sound and a projector for the big screen feel.
Organic vegan popcorn and snacks provided! Beer, cocktails, wine, kombucha
and more available for a donation or feel free to bring your own!
