The film entitled "Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire" will be shown at the Wilton Town Theater. The film is 64 minutes, narrated by Julian Bond and produced by Media Education Foundation, Northampton, MA. It examines how the trauma of the 9/11 terror attacks has been used by the administration to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home. The documentary places the Bush Administration’s false justifications for war in Iraq within the larger context of a two-decade struggle by the neo-conservatives to dramatically increase military spending in the wake of the Cold War, and to expand American power globally by means of force. At the same time, the documentary explains how the Bush Administration has sold this radical and controversial plan for aggressive American military intervention by deliberately manipulating intelligence, political imagery, and the fears of the American people after 9/11.
