"NOT IN MY NAME"PRESS RELEASE New Video Documentary ... "NOT IN MY NAME" A powerful new documentary film has been launched to tell the story of the US attack on Afghanistan.which we DIDN'T see on our television screens. Narrated by Jeremy Hardy, the film presents powerful evidence that the US attack on Afghanistan has not helped defeat terrorism - in fact, the film suggests, the US military actions have resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians and made the world a much more danger place. The film, entitled "Not In My Name", will be shown by independent cinemas, at public meetings and distributed on video cassette. The film explains the background to the war, and the central part the US >played in actually creating the power of theTaliban and Osama bin Laden. It also shows the strength of the anti-war movement hardly reported in the British media. It explores the way the control of television coverage has become a central issue in the war, with mainsteam broadcasters relaying government propaganda and independent TV stations the targets for US bombs. Says associate producer Norman Thomas: "The aim of the film is to alert people of the very dangerous situation the US attack on Afghanistan has created in the world. The US say they will attack terrorists anywhere and everywhere in the world. But who decides who is a terrorist? Who will tell the US who they can or cannot attack?" Contributors include: Award-winning journalist John Pilger, Tony Benn, Tariq Ali, Channel 4's Jon Snow, Bianca Jagger, Labour MP George Galloway, Paul Foot, Salma Yacoob, as well as many others. "Not In My Name", running time 41 minutes, is produced by award-winning radical film maker, Platform Films ( makers of "The People's Flag", "Proud Arabs and Texas Oilmen" and "The Cause of Ireland") in association with TV Choice, London-based maker of educational programmes.
