The "Voices" Have Been Heard

I would just like to thank everyone who came out to our showing of "Voices of Iraq" last night. We had an excellent turnout, and I was glad to see that people were interested in hearing the "other side" of the War in Iraq.

The College Republicans presented the film in a non-partisan apolitical environment, inviting people with all stances on the war to attend. The purpose was to hear the thoughts and hopes of the Iraqi people straight from their own mouths. This movie has no spin, it has no political leaning, and it has no outside influence. What it does have are messages from over 100 Iraqis, telling the world who they really are, and what they think of the war they live in the middle of. Some Iraqis are happy to be liberated and free, while others wish for the days when Saddam was back in power. "Voices of Iraq" gave everyone in attendance a clear look at the lifestyle and culture of today's Iraqi citizens, and we were proud to show it.

The discussion about the film only started last night... it will continue here on the blog. If you would like to see the film, "Voices of Iraq" has an exclusive partnership with Netflix. You can order it through the website, and obtaining the rights to show the movie is free. You just have to e-mail the producers and agree to not charge money for it.

Thanks again!
