Looking for something to watch tonight?

A tip from two of our Board Members, Sharon N. and Cheryl B.:

Don't miss tonight's gripping new documentary WORSE THAN WAR on PBS.
Wednesday, April 14th at 9 p.m. on PBS
(check local listings)

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen makes a convincing case that genocide - the systematic effort to eliminate an entire group perceived of as deserving of death - is even more destructive than armed conflict, and yet often can be prevented. Read more...

Based on Daniel Goldhagen’s book of the same title, WORSE THAN WAR is a personal exploration of the nature of genocide, ethnic cleansing and large-scale mass murder.

  1. Stunning work. This film is true to the root of the word documentary. It documents. It also explains. And it goes further. It advocates that we ourselves change. Bravo!

  2. Amazing film. I'm going to show this film to my high school students and assign the book. It will open their eyes. Allow them to understand better the circumstances of others. Empathize with the victims. Ask questions about politicians and their motives. Look at the world as an international community. Look at the members of the community as individuals.

    It's amazing to me how much territory this man has covered in under two hours. Geographic, historical, emotional. A true work of art.
