Duration: 32mins

Main themes:
- The carnage in the middle east
- Irish Anti war movement
- Anarchists against the wall

Below are quotes from narration in documentary:

“All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive of things. Leaders destroy their followers, followers destroy their leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.”

“For centuries we have been conditioned by nationality, cast, class, tradition, religion, language, education, literature, art, custom, convention, propaganda of all kinds, economic pressure, our experiences- every influence you can think of – and therefore, our responses to every problem are conditioned.’

“When you call yourself an Indian or Muslim or a Christian or European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you are separating yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man or woman who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any political party or partial system: he is concerned with the understanding of mankind. “

“Words are cheap when used to describe the ongoing slaughter and destruction in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and at the hands of the US and the US-funded Israeli army. No matter how eloquent or expressive, words stand helpless and ring hollow when confronted with the distressing human suffering inflicted on Iraqi, Lebanese and Palestinian civilians by war machines and the utter apathy, even indifference, of world powers towards them”

“The crowning lunacy of this crisis, with its twisted logic and perverse objectives, is the statement of the US Secretary of State, calling the current carnage "the birth pangs of a new Middle East." These "pangs" of a foreign-grown and forcibly implanted pregnancy are more like deafening "bangs" that shatter the homes, hopes, and future of Lebanese and Palestinian children. They are the blows Ms. Rice is allowing to continue to burn, maim and kill civilians in Lebanon and Palestine. Ms. Rice's "new" Middle East is being molded by the charred remains of children and their hopes for a dignified life in Palestine and Lebanon. “

Was their last nite, good show.
Place was tiny but helped to make the attendance seem larger. Having said that it was well attended allowing for the advertising which was poor around town. If your doing anything again I'd be happy to stick up some flyer's for ye.
Thanks for the night and hope to see some more.
