Rebecca - counter recruiting The truth about war. I added this excerpt from a documentary I made in 2004-05 after watching democracy now this morning. I hope it discourages young women from enlisting. The RNC 04 clips are also from that same documentary, Democracy In America. Tags: iraq counter-recruiting military feminism |

Sgt. Pinocchio," the story of a military puppet". Sgt. Pinocchio," the story of a military puppet" is a counter-recruiting piece. An animated Sgt Pinocchio experiences acute nose-growing when faced with actual stories of the military by recent veterans and GI resisters. Members of the PepperSpray Collective observed high school students watching counter-recruiting videos and felt that even the good videos didn't keep their attention. We came up with this piece in hopes it would keep students watching. http://www.couragetoresist.org http://www.afsc.org/youthmil http://www.traveling-soldier.org/7.06.words.php http://www.centeronconscience.org/store/missionrejected.shtml Tags: counter-recruiting anti-recruiting military recruiting |

He Stood UP! The Mistrial of Lt. Ehren Watada The Corporate media treated Watada's mistrial like it was a flat tire, or some other technical problem rather than the victory that it was. We were right there front and center, in the inner court room, and we knew that the mistrial of Ehren Watada, first officer to refuse to go to Iraq, was a big victory for our side. We saw how the judge pulled the plug on the trial rather than risk a Watada victory. Our court-room observer heard one juror mutter "at least somebody has some principles around here." We saw the prosecutor bury his face in his hands when the judge began to bail out of the case that had become an airplane on fire, careening towards the earth. Our cameras were at the gates, at the rallies, and at the press conferences. And because NO cameras are allowed in any kind of federal court, including military courts-marital, we got the court artist sketches, and with animation, sketches, and live footage we bring you the story that corporate media glossed over. There was no "mistrial." The prosecution rested its case, and on the prosecution case alone, Lt. Watada was doing great. The judge had already barred every witness Lt. Watada wanted to bring in, and had ruled out every defense Watada could possibly raise. But every prosecution witness contributed to the defense's case, and by the time the prosecutor excused his last witness, it was painfully obvious that Watada should win, and there was a distinct possibility that he would win on at least some counts. The judge stopped the show rather than risk a Watada win. It isn't that often that something like this happens (that we know of, anyway), but we were there, we watched it all, and now, we're bringing that story to a screen near you. "He Stood UP" is the story of Lt. Watada and the mistrial that happened in February. The Army claims that they are going to try him again, although there are serious doubts about the legality of that, because of double jeopardy. Sometimes a moral stand can bring a legal victory. http://www.thankyoult.org Iraq Veterans Against the War Deployed http://www.ivawdeployed.org Courage to Resist http://www.couragetoresist.org Counter Recruiting http://www.counter-recruiting.org Beyond Treason http://www.beyondtreason.org Sir!

Short Films that Inspire Action The Media That Matters Film Festival, a project of ArtsEngine, just released its 7th annual festival on DVD. They gave us permission to use some of the material of the DVD. These short films are billed as " Short Films that Inspire Action." To get a copy of the entire DVD, or to find out more about this great project, visit their website at http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/. Shorts we feature on "Indymedia Presents": "Rapping At Fear" directed by Andres Tabares, a 13 year old living in Bogota, Columbia. This is a project of the Listen Up! Youth Media Network, http://www.listenup.org "The News Is What We Make It," directed and produced by Nickey Robare. This short won the "Media Reform Award" sponsored by Utne Magazine. It is a claymation about kids who discover first hand how corporate media twists things. "No Child," directed by Gabe Cheifetz, won the "Knowledge is Power" award. Rapper Shakademic and Glenn Scott visit counter-recruiting groups and then a glib-tongued recruiter to discover "Do recruiters really lie to kids?" Pepperspray Productions formed shortly after the WTO protests in Seattle, in response to the Independent Media Center's call, "don't hate the media, be the media!". We believe that the Corporate Media is not telling us the whole story, and that the people must make our own media if we want our voices to be heard.
