the latest updates- we are still on the planning stage for a few of
these events.)
#1) Impeachment Actions, Rally, Friday, July 25th, 3pm - 6pm, Zoe
Lofgren's Office, 635 N. 1st St., San Jose Here's the latest
Impeachment News- which includes what we can do to further this
process. http://impeachforpeace.org/impeach_bush_blog/?p=5538 Amongst
the articles of Impeachment that Kucinich introduced in June 3
included 9/11 issues. Hearings will hopefully force the media to
begin to cover the important suppressed facts and information, and
begin some process of accountability, at least slow them down on
their present course.
#2) Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance
Retreat/Celebration/Organizing for September, Sunday, July 27, 2008
Noon- 8pm
(Serious Discussion/Decision making 3pm - 6 pm)
Last year we held a Retreat to plan our August/September events at my
home (in Palo Alto). It was a fun/productive gathering and our
subsequent events were a success. We are still trying to figure out
what to do precisely for this August/September 11th at the Grand Lake
Theater. If you would like to come to the retreat and help with the
upcoming events & newsletter... I hope you can join us next Sunday,
July 27th at my house. I plan on making food (but some people want me
to spend more time facilitating and participating in the discussion-
so if we turn it into a potluck, I might have more time to be part of
the circle). This will also be a chance for me to celebrate with
friends the good news that the biopsy results show the cysts in my
pancreas are benign. Call, or email to RSVP and get directions to my
house. 650-857-0927, cbrouillet at igc.org Carol AND, If you want to
help, but can't come next Sunday- please let us know what you can do,
and any of your ideas/suggestions.

911 Power to the Peaceful Rally? March? Tabling/Flyering/Speaking
September 11th at the Grand Lake Theater
#3) Film Premiere- The Reflecting Pool
August 4, 2008, 7 PM
Pacific Film Archive
2575 Bancroft Way
Berkeley, CA
(510) 642-1412
The Reflecting Pool follows an investigation by a skeptical
Russian-American journalist who teams up with the father of a 9/11
victim to fact check the official version of the tragedy as
documented in the 9/11 Commission Report. As they examine evidence
and interview key eyewitnesses, the official story begins to crumble.
The Reflecting Pool is the first investigative drama to present this
issue in the spirit of such films as All the President's Men and JFK.
The film illustrates that, as so often is the case, the truth does
not set you free; it ties your stomach and conscience into knots. It
will remind you of All the President's Men and JFK, films that also
used drama to pursue political truths. Writer/Director Jarek Kupsc
plays Alex Prokop, a successful journalist who receives a mysterious
9/11 videotape revealing new information on the attack. Joseph Culp
appears as Paul Cooper, the man who sent the tape and a driven
researcher whose daughter died on 9/11. Though skeptical of
conspiracy theorists and fearful that it will jeopardize his career,
Prokop agrees to take on the story.
We follow Prokop and Cooper as they investigate the destruction of
evidence from Ground Zero, the collapse of the 47-story WTC Building
Seven, and the airliner attack on the Pentagon. The results of their
investigation suggest the official version as presented in the 9/11
Commission Report purposely ignored or omitted evidence and
testimonies to protect people in political positions, including the
present administration. Prokop, plagued by the ghosts of his
Communist childhood and trying to uphold the independence of American
journalism, struggles to come to grips with this awful truth.
The Reflecting Pool is an intense, sobering analysis of the most
controversial tragedy of our time -- a thought-provoking study of a
search for truth and the profound consequences of not looking for it
any further than the nightly news.
Selected reviews
"The Reflecting Pool presents a story that I have not taken the time
or courage to touch."
--Barbara Trent, Academy Award Winner, The Panama Deception
"The film illustrates that, as so often is the case, the truth does
not set you free; it ties your stomach and conscience into knots. It
will remind you of All the President's Men and JFK, films that also
used drama to pursue political truths."
--Joel Hirschhorn, Op-ed news
"The script is top-notch, the characterizations moving. If the film
has a flaw, it's in trying to document so much evidence in a
narrative thriller. Yet by and large, it pulls it off to deliver a
chilling and effective message -- maybe it can happen here."
--Jim Cirile, Screenwriters Magazine
About The Reflecting Pool:
The Reflecting Pool premiered theatrically through American
Cinematheque to a standing-room only audience on January 31, 2008, at
the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, CA. The film screened in limited
runs in February and March in Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and
continues with other selected screenings. The film is an official
selection this summer at the Maine International Film Festival in
July and the Moondance International Film Festival in August. The
film was recently picked up by Rialto Theaters in New Zealand for
this September.
About the filmmakers:
The Reflecting Pool was independently produced and financed by
Baltazar Works with Jodie Baltazar and Joseph Culp serving as
producers. The Reflecting Pool is director Jarek Kupsc's third
feature film. He won multiple awards for his debut feature Recoil and
won Best Picture for Slumberland in his native Poland. Kupsc gives
his view: "Most of all we wanted to tell a human story about what
happens to people when the truth is kept from them and show the
struggle one must go through for their own sense of integrity." He
continues, "September 11th, 2001, was a defining moment in modern
history--an event that propelled America toward preemptive wars under
false pretenses resulting in the deaths of over a million civilians
in the Middle East, thousands of American troops, and a complete
disregard for the Geneva Conventions not to mention the Bill of
Rights." Culp says, The Reflecting Pool is a way of taking stock of
what has happened to our country after 9/11 and to do the most
American thing of all--ask questions and demand honest answers."

Since October 2001, every Wednesday, except when it is raining; I
have set up tables, banners, chairs, food, educational material, and
created a space for public dialogue on key issues. Beginning in
November 2007, I am doing this on a monthly basis, on the 11th of
every month. We ask the public three questions and write down their responses-
What do you think/feel about the events of September 11th and the
U.S. government's response?
How could we defuse terrorism?"
How could we create a safer/better world for our children and all children?
