Guerilla News Network presents
"BattleGround: 21 Days at Empire's Edge"

Producers from the Guerilla News Network will be 
present to answer questions and show recent 
shorts.

About the film:
In late 2003, two filmmakers from the Sundance 
award-winning Guerrilla News Network spent three 
weeks on the frontlines of the simmering 
guerrilla war in Iraq, gathering intelligence, 
dodging bullets, and capturing the untold stories 
of what has become the world's most covered, and 
misunderstood, conflict.

BattleGround is an intensely emotional journey 
that will challenge the orthodoxies of Left and 
Right, and highlight the humanity of all sides of 
the conflict. BattleGround is a critical film for 
anyone who wants to understand the powerful 
forces that are sucking America deeper and deeper 
into a Middle Eastern quagmire.

BattleGround recently won the Silver Hugo Award 
for documentaries at the Chicago International 
Film Festival


Station 40 is an intentional community of the 
arts where we aim to contribute to the 
self-empowerment of communities challenging the 
status quo both on a local and global scale. We 
believe in autonomy, ecology, equality and 
freedom in a world devoid of hierarchy and 
oppression, specifically those rooted in 
patriarchy, racism and class. We recognize that 
self-empowerment is best achieved by the 
communication and education of both the mind and 
the heart. To this end we offer Station 40 as a 
resource to all who are interested in this common 
pursuit.

All events are at STATION 40

"All empires collapse eventually: Akkad, Sumeria, 
Babylonia, Ninevah, Assyria, Persia, Macedonia, 
Greece, Carthage, Rome, Mali, Songhai, Mongonl, 
Tokugawaw, Gupta, Khmer, Hapbsburg, Inca, Aztec, 
Spanish, Dutch, Ottoman, Austrian, French, 
British, Soviet, you name them, they all fell, 
and most within a few hundred years. The reasons 
are not really complex. An empire is a kind of 
state system that inevitably makes the same 
mistakes simply by the nature of its imperial 
structure and inevitably fails because of its 
size, complexity, territorial reach, 
stratification, heterogeneity, domination, 
hierarchy, and inequalities. "
-Kirkpatrick Sale
