Ellsberg Initiative for Peace and Democracy to Host Documentary … – UMass News and Media Relations
Category: Democracy
The Ellsberg Initiative for Peace and Democracy (EIPAD) invites the UMass Amherst community to an in-person film screening and virtual discussion with whistleblower advocates involved in the making of the 2016 documentary on drone warfare, National Bird, on Wednesday, Nov. 1.
The two-part event begins with the screening of the documentary, which details the story about three Americans who turned against the drone warfare they once supported, from 3-5 p.m. in the Student Union Cape Cod Lounge.
A virtual discussion webinar will take place via Zoom from 7-8:30 p.m., following the in-person screening. The discussion will feature filmmaker and investigative journalist Sonia Kennebeck, veteran, whistleblower and researcher Lisa Ling and writer and attorney Jesselyn Radack.
To register for the virtual discussion, visit the Blowing the Whistle on Drone Warfare webinar registration form.
EIPAD was created in dedication to the stewardship of whistleblower Daniel Ellsbergs legacy and the commitment to put the overlapping causes that defined his activism into action. The screening and virtual discussion is sponsored by EIPAD with assistance from the UMass Graduate History Association.
