Dirty Wars

 



About the Screening

The rules of engagement in the global war on terror have fundamentally changed. Today U.S. drone strikes and targeted killings occur across the globe, claiming the lives of untold numbers of civilians. In this gripping documentary, investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill (author of Blackwater) traces the rise of the secretive Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), exposing operations carried out with virtually no Congressional oversight or public awareness. No target is off limits for the JSOC "kill list," not even U.S. citizens. Director Richard Rowley and writer-producer Scahill’s Dirty Wars is "a 70s style conspiracy thriller" (Rob Nelson, Variety) with "remarkable, news-breaking revelations" (Glenn Greenwald, The Guardian).
