This film charges that American forces were present at and permitted the massacre of approximately 3,000 Taliban prisoners. "Afghan Massacre" tells of how American Special Forces took control of the operation, re-directed the containers carrying the living and dead into the desert and stood by as survivors were shot and buried. And it details how the Pentagon lied to the world in order to cover up its role in the greatest atrocity of the entire Afghan War. |

Shows very clearly how U.S. bombing and sanctions against Iraq are causing untold suffering. Three Members of Voices in the Wilderness committed civil disobedience by going to Iraq to live with families in Basra. Lots of good statistics and footage, but the unique feature of the video is the personal relationships that these American volunteers develop with their families in Basra. |
