Screenwriters' Festival 2009

A beautiful setting for us to share our writing with others!

Doctors and Detainees NEWS

Screening Liberally has invited us to discuss our documentary, Doctors and Detainees, at Netroots Nation the annual convention for Progressive newsmakers on Friday, August 14th, 5pm in Room 406. We'll show a clip of our work-in-progress and get feedback from the audience.

Netroots Nation amplifies progressive voices by providing an online and in-person campus for exchanging ideas and learning how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate. Within that campus, we strengthen community, inspire action and serve as an incubator for progressive ideas that challenge the status quo and ultimately affect change in the public sphere

Dr. Davis and Julie Gribble were also invited to discuss the film on Virtually Speaking, a talk show in Second Life, on July 9.
Listen to the interview on BlogTalk Radio.

Check out the new additions to the D&D website:
The Trailer
The Debate Room where readers can discuss the issues and comment on the debate between Dr. Martha Davis and Colonel Steve Kleinman, Air Force Counterintelligence, about APA's controversial decision to allow psychologist to participate in interrogations.
and
The Action Center located on our home page, not only encourages readers to take action but shows them how!

Doctors and Detainees - A Feature Length Documentary in the Making

From DoctorsAndDetainees.com:

Since 9/11, doctors have contributed to the torture and abuse of detainees through their collaboration with interrogators at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and CIA black sites. Are “interrogation doctors” at the forefront of disturbing new roles for psychologists, psychiatrists and physicians in national security intelligence?

I've been working really long hours to get this project moving forward and it's good to finally see progress. The website is up (created using an older version of iWeb flogged into submission) and we've been granted fiscal sponsorship by Arts Engine, Inc., which is a big deal because with their sponsorship all donations towards the completion of the film are now tax deductible.
And to keep up with the times, we can now be joined and tweeted on facebook and Twitter.

Now I'm off to work on getting those donations....

You Want Who to Fail?!

Rachel, Keith, Jon, Stephen, SOMEBODY please ask republicans: "What does an Obama "failure" look like? What will befall us if his policies "fail"? You know, like what happens if you get what you hope for?

Will our economy tank? Will more people lose their jobs? Will China demand all their money back or else?
Is this what republicans want, so much so that they're hoping Obama's policies fail?

Let's hear what their fantasy scenario looks like - aren't you curious?

Good Morning!

The view from my window of this morning's sunrise. Looks a bit like Obama sunshine doesn't it?

"Government is not the solution..."

Really?

How about this solution?




So what do you think about that?



Then let's make it official!




Now go get 'em handsome!
