From Debbie Seagraves
Executive Director

I wanted to let you know about these upcoming events.

"The Oath" screening and discussion as Gitmo begins its 10th year...


 

The Oath

 

WHEN:  January 20, 07:30 PM


WHERE: PushPush Theater, 121 New St, Decatur 30030
 
MAP

From the director of the Oscar-nominated My Country, My Country, The Oath is a spectacularly gripping documentary that unspools like a great political thriller. It's the crosscut tale of two men whose fateful meeting propelled them on divergent courses with Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, 9/11, Guantanamo Bay Prison and the U.S. Supreme Court. Winner of Best Documentary Cinematography at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, The Oath offers a rare window into a hidden realm-and the international impact of the U.S. War on Terror. There will be a discussion led by Azadeh Shahshahani with the ACLU of Ga. This special screening is sponsored by the ACLU of Georgia, Georgia for Democracy, and Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition. This event is free and open to the public, donations to the theater are always nice.
