Oscar-winning director, Barbara Trent, will take Q&A after evening
shows.

THE PANAMA DECEPTION -- a riveting critique of the government’s history of militarization made all the more timely by the current war on terrorism; the untold story of the 1989 US invasion of Panama; Gen. Noriega’s longstanding relationship with the CIA, the DEA and George Bush; the shocking events of the assault and its aftermath; the true motivation for the invasion; how and why the mainstream media collaborated with the US government to censor information and deceive the American public.

COVERUP - the shadow government of assassins, arms dealers, drug smugglers, former CIA operatives, and top US military personnel who are running foreign policy unaccountable to the public; the Reagan/Bush administration’s plan to use FEMA to institute martial law and ultimately suspend the Constitution; an exploration of the loss of civil liberties, strikingly relevant after 9/11.

BARBARA TRENT - Oscar-winning filmmaker, former welfare mother, seasoned activist, and trailblazer for change. Trent’s counter-message incites an increasingly crucial dialogue as the drumbeat for war on terrorism, drugs, the poor, indigenous movements, civil liberties, and dissent thumps ever louder.
