The film examines the situation of South and Southeast Asian workers sent to be exploited in Iraq to form the invisible labor on U.S. military bases cleaning toilets, serving food, building barracks and earning a fraction of what U.S. contractors in Iraq make. The film is told from the perspective of Filipino workers and their families, highlighting the wages and the personal cost of war.

Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox, a Personal Message from Cindy about Her New Radio Show

Dear Friends,

I have tried just about everything I can to not only end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but to change the way we do things here in this country. Many people congratulated me after the Obama victory and inauguration on the success of my work coming to fruition in Obama…my intent was never to get Democrats elected, but end the wars…we know the Democrats will not do this.

My newest endeavor is my radio show.

 

Please listen at: www.CindySheehansSoapbox.com and spread the word.
