The Pornography Of Power:
Robert Scheer in person -
author, journalist
Robert Scheer brings a lifetime of wisdom and 40 years of journalism experience to one of the most overlooked and dangerous issues of our time—the destructive influence of America's military-industrial complex.
In "The Pornography Of Power. How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11 and Weakened America," Scheer examines the quiet expansion of our military presence throughout the world, our insane nuclear strategy, the immorality of corporations profiting in Iraq, and the arrogance of our foreign policy.

MEET THE FILM MAKERS!   Activist San Diego Presents….
Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans
a new film by Upheaval Productions


Friday August 1, 2008 7:30 pm


Post-Katrina reconstruction is still in progress throughout the Gulf Coast, with much of the city of New Orleans still in ruins. Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans focuses on those rebuilding this city through interviews with some of the estimated 100,000 Latino migrant laborers who have converged in this area over the past two and a half years. Despite terrible working conditions, massive fraud, a housing crisis, severe harassment by law enforcement, and very limited resources, New Orleans' Latino-community has mushroomed since the storm and is establishing an infrastructure proportional to its size. Take a look at how this community is organizing to defend itself against numerous injustices and the attempts to bridge the gap between themselves as new residents and the pre-Katrina population, all within the context of the extremely unique and tragic context of post-Katrina New Orleans.
