The DuPage Peace through Justice Coalition presents
JUST VIEWS: a Monthly Video/ Discussion Program
 |
Just Views April 14, 7:20 pm 2006: Free & Open--Meeting Osama Bin
Laden.
More than a dozen interviews -- including with
his grade school teacher, family friends, fellow Al Qaeda soldiers, and
Western journalists introduce us, via this hour-long documentary, to the
real person behind the notorious name: Osma Bin Laden. Produced by PBS
affiliate WGBH Boston in association with BBC and others, this film
biography traces influential events in Bin Laden’s life from his privileged
childhood in Saudi Arabia, through his battles with the Soviet Union in
Afghanistan, to the attacks of 9/11/01. Join a cross section of the
community to try to understand the actions and motives of this man who has
declared war on our Western ways. During informal discussion following the
screening, we can examine what Bin Laden has said and done during the 5.5
years since 9/11 that he has eluded capture. And we can try to fathom the
possible meanings of the "truce" Bin Laden recently offered to the Bush
Administration, the cursory rejection that it immediately received, and the
paucity of press probings into this.
These 2nd Friday evening Just Views programs start at 7:20 pm, are
sponsored by the DuPage Peace through Justice Coalition and held at the
Unitarian Church in Naperville IL at 4 S 535 Old Naperville Road
(630/505-9408). Directions: Go (south of Route 88) to the corner of
Naperville Road and Diehl. Proceed one block east along Diehl, then turn
left/north. Enter the Unitarian Church ahead on your right.
Just Views (JV) shows great films on the big screen about vital
peace-and-justice issues on 2nd Fridays monthly for free!
College and HS students are urged to join the adult public. View and then
share views from various vantages with citizens and invited resource
