A desk calendar and catalogue of 63 films and videos that promote peace and nonviolence and oppose war and warmakers. From Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 911,” Hollywood’s “Syriana” and “Wag the Dog,” to the story of Argentina’s Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and biographies of pacifists like Bayard Rustin and Dorothy Day, this survey of the last 20 years of antiwar filmmaking includes works by major movie studios, independent producers, and grassroots activists across the globe.
Each film description includes stills, distributors’ contact information, country of origin and language, format, and running time.
The last time WRL did a film-themed calendar was 20 years ago, their 1987 Calendar (edited by Kate Donnelly, Clay Colt & Amy Melnick, in the era before videotapes or DVDs. Only a handful of copies of that Calendar remain (see the books section of the catalogue. That calendar covered films for peace and justice from the 1940's, '50's, '60's, '70's and up 'til 1986 when it was produced and published. Many of those films are now available on DVD.
