June 1: "Screening Of Taxi To The Dark Side"

On the last screening, we didn't really get to show Taxi To The Dark Side as originally planned. Most of the audience who turned up wanted another film instead, and everyone else was pretty ok by it.

So, we will be screening it again today... at 62 Weld Quay, 3rd floor. Time is 8PM, and admission is free.

The film is truly disturbing -it recalls the water torture technique used by the Japanese during the 2nd World War. In the name of fighting terrorists the US had come close enough to mirror what the terrorists are said to be doing. Or even worse-as the death toll from the `war' had become multiples of the 911 `original sin'!

The film is well argued -and runs on very clear structure. Even its drama -consisting of turning the `interrogators' of terrorists suspects into the accused of tortures at the end of the film, make satisfactory viewing!

The screening was well attended -by about 20 viewers. Hopefully we can get a new crop of viewers after the last batch of travelers-viewers had gone on their separate ways.
