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.

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.
