A Belfast Screening of "Route Irish"

7.30pm, Fri, 11 April
Friends Meeting Place,
22 Marlborough Park North, (off Lisburn Road).
Map here... http://tinyurl.com/ypb639

"Route Irish" will be introduced by International Anti-War Resister Ciaron O'Reilly.

Ciaron seved 13 months in the U.S. prisons for his participation in the 1991 ANZUS Plowshares disarmament of a B52 Bomber. In July 2006, Ciaron was one of the five Pitstop Ploughshares unanimously acquitted of the $US2.5 million nonviolent disabling af a U.S. Navy war plane at Shannon Airport, County Clare, Ireland www.peaceontrial.com

There will be a question, answer & discussion period with Ciaron following the screening of this 90 minute film.

"ROUTE IRISH" is a 90 minute essay film on the campaign(s) against Irish
facilitation of the US/UK invasion of Iraq.

"An excellent documentary. It deals very very well with the frustrations of a peace movement. It tackles some complex matters which aren't usually discussed or even thought about."
-Alex Cox, Director of Repo Man

It would surprise most of the world that a majority of U.S. troops travel through Ireland on their way to Iraq - in spite of Ireland's own constitution and well known tradition of neutrality and non-alignment.

This Indymedia Ireland/ Revolt Video film documents the emergence of the Irish antiwar movement between 2002 and 2006 and of the broad popular oppostion to the U.S. military use of Shannon Airport in the build-up to, invasion of, and occupation of Iraq.

The documentary follows a loose network of activist groups, individuals and politicians through the story of the rise, fracturing, sudden decline and then disappearance of this movement. The film goes on to retrace the way their combined efforts energies and strategies served to effecively tear away the Republic of Ireland's veneer of neutrality and non-alignment in the post-September 11th. era of the "War on Terror"
