Dear all,

The Fog of War (2004)
Sunday, May 4, 8pm
Arcobaleno
Via Pullino, 1 (metro Garbatella, see directions below)

Film synopsis:
"It is the story of America as seen through the eyes of the former Secretary
of Defense, Robert S. McNamara. One of the most controversial and
influential figures in world politics, he takes us on an insider's view of the
seminal events of the 20th Century. From the firebombing of 100,000
Japanese civilians in Tokyo in 1945 to the brink of nuclear catastrophe
during the Cuban missile crisis to the devastating effects of the Vietnam
War, The Fog of War examines the psychology and reasoning of the
government decision-makers who send men to war. How were decisions
made and for what reason? What can we learn from these historical
events?

As American forces occupy Iraq and the possibility of additional military
conflict looms large, The Fog of War is essential viewing for anyone who
wants to understand how the American government justifies the use of
military force."
