The documentary War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us To Death (based on Norman Solomon’s book of the same title) is now playing at movie theatres and other independent venues throughout the United States. The movie, narrated by actor Sean Penn, uses stunning archival video to expose a 50-year pattern of White House deception and media propaganda that has dragged our country into one military intervention after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Rare footage also spotlights heroes who have resisted the war barrage: people like Sen. Wayne Morse, Rep. Barbara Lee and Phil Donahue. Reviewers have called it “Superb” (Howard Zinn), “Chilling and persuasive” (The Nation) and “Damning” (Variety).
