Film: “The Good Soldier“

Airtime: Friday

Did you know that Truthout is a nonprofit and independently funded by readers like you? If you value what we do, please support our work with a donation.

Airtime: Friday, November 6, 2009, at 9:00 PM (EST) on PBS (check local listings
here).

As America prepares to observe Veterans Day and President Obama weighs sending
more troops to fight in Afghanistan, “Bill Moyers Journal” broadcasts
a powerful documentary about the impact on soldiers of learning to kill – or
be killed. “The Good Soldier” follows four veterans – one from World
War II, two from Vietnam and the fourth from Iraq – as they reveal how the experiences
of battle changed their lives.

An urgent appeal for your support: 7 Days to raise $41,000

Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.

Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.

Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 7 days to hit our $41,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
