Chicago Premiere of Uncovered: The War on Iraq

Robert Greenwald’s critically acclaimed political documentary, Uncovered:
The
War on Iraq, will open in Chicago on August 27 at the Landmark Century Theatre,
2828 N. Clark St. at 7:30 p.m. Opening night will be sponsored by Chicago’s very
own national news magazine In These Times. Admission is $9.50.

The evening will include a panel discussion following the first screening with
In These Times senior editors David Sirota, director of strategic communications
for the Center for American Progress and Salim Muwakkil and invited guest Rep.
Jan Schakowsky. They will discuss the documentary’s implications for this year’s
presidential election and field questions from the audience. A second screening
of the movie will occur at 10 p.m.

Uncovered, which premiered at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, was lauded by the international press as a “Political thunderbolt” (Daily Star) and a “burning piece...a work of public interest to be distributed in emergency.” (L’Humanite). The film reveals the construction of the case for war by the Bush administration through in-depth interviews with former CIA analysts, Pentagon and Foreign Service experts and former weapons inspectors juxtaposed against television interviews by key players in the Bush Administration including President Bush, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfield and Condoleeza Rice.
