YPFP New York in conjunction with the Carnegie Council for Ethics in Internaitonal Affairs will host a short screening of Full Disclosure followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Brian Palmer.

Full Disclosure is a feature-length documentary that offers a clear and nuanced view of the Iraq occupation from the vantage point of a reporter embedded with a US Marine infantry unit, 1st Battalion/2nd Marine Regiment. Upon returning from Iraq, Palmer followed up with members of the unit routinely, and continued to monitor the situation in towns he visited in Babil and Anbar provinces through media accounts, US government and NGO reports, documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and interviews with returning service members.

Many Iraq documentaries have been released over the past four years. Full Disclosure is different from all of them: it is a reporter's boots-on-the-ground account of America's experiment in "nation building" as well as an examination of the embedding system's effect on his ability to report evenhandedly, critically, and compassionately.

This event will be held from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs on Wednesday, April 23. To attend, please register by emailing Kristin Burgos at kburgos@cceia.org with your name and affiliation.
