Help the filmmakers “spread a message of peace and justice by providing funds for us to distribute this documentary that challenges the glorification of war and exposes the indoctrination of young children. If the public is informed about the serious and horrific nature of war they will be more likely to oppose unjustified conflict”.

Please watch this film by friend and Veterans for Peace member, Michael Hanes, an Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran (producer), and Chris Smiley (director). The two “challenge the glorification of war and violence in our culture while exposing the propaganda of the Miramar military air show. This air show is one of many outlets where war and violence is given a warm, inviting, and exciting aura. The utter horror and brutality is never understood by so many. Promoting a positive image of war and violence to people, especially to children (as is done at this military show), is extremely dangerous. There is absolutely nothing cool, exciting, or heroic about ripping limbs, burning flesh, or shredding the organs of another human being. It is important for this reality to be understood by all if we want to see peace and justice. It is easy to rally a population for war if people are apathetic or excited about it”.
