Muhlenberg College Hosts Screening Of Iraq For Sale
Muhlenberg College will host a screening of Robert Greenwald’s much anticipated film Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers on Sunday night, November 11, 2007 at 7 p.m., in the Recital Hall, Center for the Arts.Wednesday, November 7, 2007 01:59 PM
This event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by Campus Progress, Student Activities and the Muhlenberg College Democrats.
The documentary, Greenwald’s follow-up to his critically-acclaimed Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, is a searing indictment of the war profiteering perpetrated by four companies – Blackwater, CACI, KBR/Halliburton, and Titan – operating in Iraq.
Iraq for Sale takes viewers inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. From Army soldiers outsourced from their military jobs by contractors making five-times what they do, to truck drivers abandoned by their company to die in the dessert at the hands of insurgents. From the mother of a former NAVY SEAL who blames corporate negligence for his violent death in Fallujah, to the truck driver from Oklahoma who watched his employer literally burn brand new trucks to the ground in a bald attempt to rake in more money. Iraq for Saleis a movie about corporate traitors stealing American money and spending American lives – exploiting the Iraq War to make a killing for themselves.
