The documentary Hotel Palestine: Killing the Witness will be screened in English followed by a discussion as part of the Eyes Wide Open Film Series presented by U.S. Citizens for Peace & Justice - Rome.

Film Synopsis:
The Palestine Hotel was to be a safespace in Baghdad for members of the media who were capturing the essence of war in Iraq through various mediums to inform the people. The Pentagon was told their location coordinates, and the journalists felt secure in the promise that the firing would not be targeted towards their site. But on April 8th, a U.S. tank aimed and fired at the floor where Jose Couso was set up with his camera. The U.S. government continues to tell conflicted stories as to what happened that day.

Hotel Palestine: Killing the Witness exposes the truth behind an attack on a media-filled hotel in Iraq. The film was produced by Jose Couso's network, Telecinco, and broadcast on Spanish TV. It includes interviews with numerous journalists who were inside the Palestine Hotel, the AP reporter embedded with US forces at the time of the attack as well as the US tank commander who pulled the trigger.

    "Nato assassina vattene"

    Una forte protesta sfida l'apparato repressivo turco in occasione del vertice Nato in corso ad Ankara. Il regime reagisce con arresti a catena. Pubblichiamo le immagini della contestazione. Il segretario generale della Nato Rutte non condanna la repressione e giustifica i raid USA contro l'Iran

    The embarrassing NATO summit in Ankara

    This summit is a blatant application of the double standard policy. NATO preaches democracy and freedom and then meets in Turkey where democracy is trampled and freedom comes at a high price for political opponents, journalists, and human rights activists.

    La mappa della pace in Turchia

    In un paese come la Turchia dove la libertà di espressione è spesso messa a dura prova, il movimento pacifista rappresenta una realtà complessa e coraggiosa che intreccia inevitabilmente la difesa dei diritti umani e la risoluzione della questione curda.

    L’imbarazzante vertice NATO ad Ankara

    Questo vertice è la palese applicazione della politica del doppio standard. La NATO predica la democrazia e la libertà e poi si riunisce in Turchia dove la democrazia viene calpestata e la libertà viene pagata a caro prezzo da oppositori politici, giornalisti e attivisti per i diritti umani.
