Tickets are Going Fast !

We only have a small number of seats left for this film. Please sign up if you're interested in attending.

Uppity Wisconsin and Cruiskeen Consulting LLC are sponsoring a free showing of Iraq For Sale at the Menomonie Public Library on Oct. 9.

Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.

 

This showing will have a limited number of seats available. You can sign up to see the film by going here. Note - You will not receive actual tickets- you will be put on a list of people so that if we get more people at the showing than were signed up, we'll know which people to let in.

Iraq for Sale - The War Profiteers

The New York Times has reviewed the film:

Robert Greenwald’s documentaries are like sledgehammers of rage against everything he finds wrong with America, including Wal-Mart, Fox News and the Bush administration. He wants to rile us up, and he’s not subtle. But then, neither are his targets. In “Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers,” Mr. Greenwald compiles a horrifying catalog of greed, corruption and incompetence among private contractors in Iraq, focusing primarily on Halliburton, Blackwater Security Consulting and CACI International. A febrile blend of facts, liberal outrage and emotional manipulation, “Iraq for Sale” has an us-versus-them sensibility that’s extremely effective. — Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times

The Village Voice -

Iraq for Sale is a much needed reminder of the criminal negligence of those who led the troops into this mess and those who have gotten rich off of it.
