In
 2003, Iraq was invaded, occupied, brutalized and until today more than 
1.5 million people have been killed as a consequence. In the same year 
millions of people around the world joined the struggle against this 
criminal and bloody war. MAWO’s first Film Festival for Peace was held 
in this year. A decade since the festival began, MAWO has screened 
hundreds of films documenting wars, occupations and the struggle of 
oppressed people for self-determination. By organizing the Film Festival
 for Peace, MAWO has joined this fight for a better world! Since the 
first MAWO Film Festival for Peace in December 2003, thousands of people
 have attended this one of a kind and free festival complete with films,
 special guest speakers, art exhibits and teach-ins. This year’s film 
festival, with a central focus on the world-wide struggle for peace, 
should not to be missed!

Stay posted for updates and the full program!

((( 6 ))) CONTRIBUTE TO MAWO’S ANTIWAR ORGANIZING IN 2013

2013
 has begun, and what will this new year hold? With the imperialist war 
drive against Syria and Iran escalating, the destruction of Libya 
continuing, and the occupations of Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine 
becoming more and more an obvious tragedy for the people of these 
countries, the necessity of building a united and effective antiwar 
movement is a critical task for the coming year. Let’s unite to make 
this a year of struggle against war and occupation, and a year of 
building a better world!
