Films at Anthology Film ArchivesEmpowerment Project and the Anthology Film Archives present: Thurs. 6/20 & Fri. 6/21 Sat. 6/22 & Sun. 6/23 at the Anthology Film Archives located at 32 2nd Ave. (cross street 2nd St.) Oscar-winning director, Barbara Trent, will take Q&A after evening THE PANAMA DECEPTION -- a riveting critique of the government’s history of militarization made all the more timely by the current war on terrorism; the untold story of the 1989 US invasion of Panama; Gen. Noriega’s longstanding relationship with the CIA, the DEA and George Bush; the shocking events of the assault and its aftermath; the true motivation for the invasion; how and why the mainstream media collaborated with the US government to censor information and deceive the American public. COVERUP - the shadow government of assassins, arms dealers, drug smugglers, former CIA operatives, and top US military personnel who are running foreign policy unaccountable to the public; the Reagan/Bush administration’s plan to use FEMA to institute martial law and ultimately suspend the Constitution; an exploration of the loss of civil liberties, strikingly relevant after 9/11. BARBARA TRENT - Oscar-winning filmmaker, former welfare mother, seasoned activist, and trailblazer for change. Trent’s counter-message incites an increasingly crucial dialogue as the drumbeat for war on terrorism, drugs, the poor, indigenous movements, civil liberties, and dissent thumps ever louder.
