BLOCKBUSTER! 8 months late, and charging admission...

Primary tabs

8 months after it's American debut (American University - Washington), at a time when showing or publicizing it might have influenced the course of events, NYCIMC is now screening the documentary, "AFGHAN MASSACRE, Convoy of Death," and charging $7 admission to benefit the editorial collective.

The documentary, "AFGHAN MASSACRE, convoy of death," alleges U.S. complicity and cover-up of war crimes in Afghanistan.

It's U.S. premiere was well in advance of the invasion of Iraq, but a lack of publicity at the time undermined its potential to influence public opinion.

Now, the NYCIMC collective is screening it and charging a $7 admission to benefit their editorial collective.

NYCIMC is under increased scrutiny for alleged abuses of editorial powers and increasaing censorship.

Most recently, the IMCliberationfront (IMCLF) has called for a contributors strike to shut down the NYCIMC and "censor the censors."
