'War Made Easy - How presidents and pundits keep spinning us to death'

  • A documentary narrated by Sean Penn about 50 years of spin from the US establishment to sell and justify its wars around the world.
  • 7:30pm, at the meeting room next to Southend Mosque, West Road, Southend-on-Sea (entrance in Gainsborough Drive).

"War Made Easy brings to the screen Norman Solomon's insightful analysis of the strategies used by administrations, both Democratic and Republican, to promote their agendas for war from Vietnam to Iraq. By familiarizing viewers with the techniques of war propaganda, War Made Easy encourages us to think critically about the messages put out by today's spin doctors - messages which are designed to promote and prolong a policy of militarism under the guise of the "war on terror." Based on the book by the same title. "
