at the Peace & Justice Center of Eastern Maine, 96 Harlow Street, Bangor.

Sponsored by the Jim Harney Veterans For Peace Chapter 003, the documentary shows the psychological impact of killing on the lives of five soldiers. These individuals reveal intimate memories about the central act of war, the killing of another human being.

Consciously apolitical but deeply psychological, the film examines the strength and struggles of men and women who kill, and how they create a life for themselves afterward.

The free showing will be followed by a discussion.

From people who brought you the Yes Men and Billionaires for Bush this material for creative activism is organized into five different categories: tactics, principles, theories, case studies and practitioners.

While the book is 460 pages long, each item is only two pages long and easy to read. If you would like to scan this great resource, stop by the Center when you are in town. Call first (207-942-9343) to make sure we are open! Continue Reading »

Rick plans to come to some of the upcoming events in our region, and hopes folks would be willing to sign photo release statements so the photos could be used.
