Film: "The War We Don't See"
Thursday , February 16, 7:00 pm
Bethlehem Town Hall
445 Delaware Ave, Delmar

The War You Don't See (2010, 96 minutes) is a documentary film, directed by John Pilger.  It is a powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war. The War You Don't See traces the history of "embedded' and independent reporting from World War I to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan. As weapons and propaganda are ever more sophisticated, the very nature of war has developed into an `electronic battlefield'. "A masterful job of laying out the often willing collusion of the journalists with the governments' ever-expanding spin empires." Dr. John Jenks, Communication Arts and Sciences Dominican University .  A discussion will follow the film.. Sponsored by Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace.
