SOA FILM - Father Roy: Inside the School of the Assassins.

Wednesday, June 20, 6:30 pm, at the Peace House, Potluck dinner before the film showing.

Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are not the first times the US has been involved in torture and torture training. This documentary reveals the struggle to expose the truth behind a secret torture training facility on US territory, now located on the grounds of Ft. Benning, GA. The story is told through the extraordinary life and daring actions of Father Roy Bourgeois, a Vietnam war hero and leading activist who has risked his freedom and life many times in the campaign to close the training facility. For many years it was called the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA).

Three men who never met, each from a different Latin American country, link SOA to torture training. One, a victim of that training, discovered an SOA torture-training manual in Paraguay. The other two were trained in torture techniques at SOA. In 1996 the White House Intelligence Oversight Board confirmed their explosive charges. At the risk of his life, the producer was pledged to never disclose the identity of one of these three men, who feared for his own life because of the shocking information he revealed in this documentary. Free and open to the public. Please bring a dish to share if you are able.
