New Doc about the school of the americas..

Friday-Sunday, December 19-21 at 7 & 9 pm
SEATTLE THEATRICAL PREMIERE!
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
(John H. Smihula, 2003, BetaSP, 72 min.)
An investigation of the U.S. relationship to Latin America as seen through
the prism of the School of the Americas, the controversial training school
for Latin soldiers on U.S. ground.  Narrated by Martin Sheen, the
documentary features interviews with political thinkers (Noam Chomsky,
Christopher Hitchens, Eduardo Galeano), Congresspersons (Barbara Lee), army
officers, victims and social activists who tackle the issues of U.S.
economic and military policies in Latin America, the war on drugs and
terrorism.  A short history, a spirited debate, a personal story and a call
for accountability, HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT is a bold, balanced, unflinching
look at the nature and consequences of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America.
