ATTN DC & NYC Reasonoids! Don't Miss Upcoming Screenings of America's Longest War: TODAY at 4 p.m. in DC, Next Week in NYC!
The human cost of the war on drugs is the subject of ReasonTV's new documentary, America's Longest War. A 2013 Anthem Film Festival grand prize winner, America's Longest War uses archival footage and personal stories to demonstrate how the war on drugs has eviscerated civil liberties, strained the prison system to its breaking point, saddled Americans with billions in debt, and left more than 60,000 Mexicans dead. With your support, we hope America's Longest War will help spur change in America's misguided drug laws.
The Cato Institue will be hosting a screening of the film on Thursday, September 19 at 4 p.m. ET in the Hayek Auditorium. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring ReasonTV's Paul Feine, who directed and produced America's Longest War, American Enterprise Institute Fellow Michael Barone, and Laura W. Murphy, Director of the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office. Please register for this event.
Reason will be hosting a screening at the French Institute in New York City on Tuesday, September 24, starting at 6:30 p.m. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance, John Tierney of the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal's Mary O'Grady, New York City Councilmember Melissa Mark-Viverito, and America's Longest War Director Paul Feine. The evening will be hosted by our friends at the Smith Family Foundation. For tickets, please register at Eventbrite, or RSVP to Mary Toledo at mary.toledo@reason.org or 310-391-2245 by Friday, September 20.

I interrupt this giant kick in the nuts to provide some comic relief

Brazilian hackers confused NASA with NSA in revenge attack. Dude, you are in Brazil, go have a drink and hang out on the beach or something.
"Giant kick in the nuts" is right. I watched this trailer last night and had a hard time getting the images of the shot dog and the cowering man in the corner being gunned down out of my mind.
French Institute...don't they mean FREEDOM INSTITUTE?!
It's nice to see John Stagliano continues to grow as a filmmaker. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Buttman's Double Speculum Club as much as any of you, but I applaud his efforts to branch out into documentary producing.
How do you get the DVD because those of us who work for a living and not in a major metro area will never be able to see this film otherwiwse
