Go to the movies and help stop war profiteers!

From Amnesty International:

Amnesty International USA is proud to announce its support of Lord of War, a film starring Academy Award-Winner Nicolas Cage that illustrates the deadly impact of the uncontrolled global arms trade. The national release is September 16, 2005. The film follows the story of Yuri Orlov (Cage), a New York-based arms broker who traffics weapons to dictators and human rights abusers, and the efforts of the Interpol Agent (Ethan Hawke) trying to stop him. The movie is written and directed by Andrew Niccol and co-stars Jared Leto, Bridget Moynahan, Ian Holm and Ethan Hawke.

Small arms kill approximately 800 people a day around the world. And every year, hundreds of thousands more are maimed, tortured, or forced to flee their homes because of weapons in irresponsible hands. See the film, join Amnesty International, and act to save lives. Amnesty International USA is actively engaged in the Control Arms Campaign, an international campaign organized by AI, Oxfam, and the International Action Network on Small Arms. Join us!
