MEETING RESISTANCE: a film by steve connors & molly bingham
Sunday Dec 7, 4PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
DCOI, a local anti-war organization, is hosting the first Baltimore screening of this acclaimed, controversial, and highly informative film about the Iraqi insurgency. "A remarkable piece of war reporting" according to the Washington Post, Meeting Resistance brings us face to face with members of the insurgency.
Directed by Steve Connors and Molly Bingham, this daring, eye-opening film provides unique insight into the personal narratives of people involved in the resistance, exploding myth after myth about the war in Iraq and the Iraqis who participate. Through its unprecedented access to these clandestine groups, MEETING RESISTANCE focuses the spotlight on the "other side", clarifying why the violence in Iraq continues to this day and providing a deeper understanding of both the toll of occupation and the human condition of resistance. Speaker Dr. Sami AlBanna, who was born and raised in Iraq, will help give a historic understanding of the situation in Iraq, in light of both the history of colonialism and the more recent history of U.S.-backed economic and military funding and political intervention in the region.

What would you do if America was invaded? MEETING RESISTANCE raises the
veil of anonymity surrounding the Iraqi insurgency by meeting face to face
with individuals who are passionately engaged in the struggle, and
documenting for the very first time, the sentiments experienced and
actions taken by a nation's citizens when their homeland is occupied.
Voices that have previously not been heard, male and female, speak
candidly about their motivations, hopes and goals, revealing a
kaleidoscope of human perspectives. Featuring reflective, yet fervent
conversations with active insurgents, MEETING RESISTANCE is the missing
puzzle piece in understanding the Iraq war.
