“In Whose Interest” is a fast moving and powerful 26-minute documentary in response to 9/11. Filmmaker David Kaplowitz leads us on an eyeopening journey, questioning the effects of US foreign policy over the past 50+ years. Revealing a pattern of intervention, the film focuses on Guatemala, Vietnam, East Timor, El Salvador, and Palestine/ Israel. Archive footage, photographs and media tidbits are dynamically interwoven with personal eye-witness accounts, commentary from academics (such as Noam Chomsky), religious leaders and politicians. “In Whose Interest” is informative and disturbingly honest, yet upbeat,
with twists of irony and humor.

IF I SHOULD FALL FROM GRACE:
Combining his Irish roots with the sprit of punk rock, former Pogues frontman Shane McGowan wrote some of the most passionate, exciting music of the 80s until years of drink and drug began to take their toll. With remarkable candor, a wild-eye, but world weary McGowan discusses his past, his life today and his enduring reputation as a man whose self-destructive streak is matched only by his musical genius.
Dir. Sarah Share, Ireland 2000, 93 minutes.
