Martha's Vineyard Film Festival Presents: Dirty Wars

Martha's Vineyard Film Festival, Neighbor

Dir. Richard Rowley Documentary | U.S.A. | 2013 | 90 min.

Filed from the frontlines of the war on terror, this hard-hitting documentary highlights the investigative work of journalist Jeremy Scahill. The unexpected journey unfolds like a conspiracy thriller as he chases down the hidden truth behind America’s expanding covert wars. A reporter for The Nation magazine, Scahill follows the trail from a remote corner of Afghanistan where covert night raids have claimed the lives of innocents, to the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), a shadowy outfit empowered by the current White House to assassinate those on an ever-lengthening “kill list,” including at least one American. This persuasively researched and thrilling story is a battle cry for the soul and conscience of an America few of us know exists.
