Torture Awareness Eve: Filmaker Eric Juth and CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou
Thursday, June 25
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
4200 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis.
On the evening before the U.N's annual "Torture Awareness Day, we want to raise awareness of the torture perpetrated by the CIA and other US government/military personnel and the lack of accountability for these war crimes.
The 35 minute documentary film "Ghosts of Johnston County" will be shown. As victims of extraordinary rendition continue to surface, and as details emerge on United States' use of torture during the war on terror, the efforts to achieve justice for the survivors persists, even in places as seemingly removed from the front lines as Johnston County, North Carolina.
Filmmaker Eric Juth is coming to lead a discussion about his film and the anti-torture activism it was based on.
Former CIA Agent and torture whistleblower John Kiriakou will appear via Skype to join the discussion and make some comments.
