Events/MultimediaThe U.S. Institute of Peace cordially invites you to attend a special movie screening on the organization, opposition, and motives of Baghdad's insurgents: Meeting Resistance
Date and Time
Thursday, Nov 30, 2006 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM Location The Charles Sumner School Museum & Archives Lecture Hall (Room 102) 1201 17th St, NW Washington, DC 20036 Meeting Resistance is a verité-style non-fiction film (90 min.) set in the streets, alleyways and ubiquitous teashops of the Adhamiya neighborhood of Baghdad. Filmed over a ten month period in 2003 and 2004, it witnesses how the insurgents began to organize themselves, revealing why they decided to violently oppose the occupation and how and why their motives have changed over time. Directors Steve Connors' and Molly Bingham's unsurpassed access and stunning cinematography makes this film essential viewing for audiences concerned with a deeper understanding of the current situation in Iraq, and with the human condition of resistance.
