GLIMPSES OF MARLA:
Produced by The Full Monte Production

Marla Ruzicka, a passionate advocate for peace, was with us on our first CODEPINK visit to Iraq in 2003 and chose to stay on to help the innocent victims of the war. She was killed by a car bomb in Iraq in April 2005.

Marla Ruzicka gave her life to a question “How many Iraqi's died?" Her story should capture the imagination of this country and penetrate the halls of power with a simple question, “How many?” Marla should be remembered with an answer.

Dr. Martin Luther King's Legacy
Produced by CODEPINK

"A true revolution of values will say of war, 'This way of settling differences is not just.'…I call on Washington today, I call on every man and woman of goodwill all over America today: Take a stand on this issue. Tomorrow may be too late; a book may close. And I don't know about you -- I ain't going to study war no more."

Not for Broadcast: At what Cost?
Produced by The Full Monte Production

In “Not For Broadcast,” a coffee vendor warns activist Media Benjamin that if the United States invades Iraq all Arabs will unite against the United States. As we follow the woman's group through Iraq, personal interactions with Iraqi's take on added relevance. After Texas fisher woman, participates in an amusing mock marriage in an Iraqi home she comments it's a “whole lot like Texas.” Whether playing marbles with Iraqi children, or listening to the Southern draw of an Iraqi Official (he had lived in Atlanta) the trailer exemplifies many scenes in the documentary. When our vehicle breaks down in the Iraqi desert, Amira Matsouda paces on the side of the road worried of what is come to her homeland. Occasionally inter cut with President Bush's State of the Union speech “Not For Broadcast” contrasts the Bush Administrations highly coordinated political campaign with CODEPINK's personal experience.

The Full Monte Production is currently seeking funds to expand the trailer into a short documentary. We welcome support and contributions to share this story of pre-war Iraq. Please e-mail for further information.

IRAQ: CODEPINK
Produced by The Full Monte Production

Six weeks before the war: In the months before the war The Bush administration controlled headlines with political and diplomatic pressure, while Saddam Hussein strung along the weapons inspectors with the international media in tow. The American public rarely saw the Iraqi people on television. In an apparent attempt to affect the media, CODEPINK was granted Visas. And from the streets of Baghdad CODEPINK hoped to attract the media's attention to the fate of the Iraqi people. While numerous cameras showed up at CODEPINK's colorful demonstrations, the message did not get home.
