American Zeitgeist, War on Terror Documentary, NYC Premiere and DVD Release Today

NEW YORK, June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- American Zeitgeist: Crisis & Conscience in an Age of Terror takes a critical look at the history of the War on Terrorism. The film places the intended and unintended consequences of America's actions into sharp relief, with a balanced narrative that captures the cultural and political "spirit of the times." Rob McGann, Director and Producer, creates a film that presents an in depth discussion about the underlying fractures of this conflict, the rise of Al Qaeda and where America is heading next.

The film recently earned critical acclaim by winning the top award in the documentary feature category at the Houston International Film Festival. Interviews with over 35 best-selling authors, academics, journalists, intelligence officials and policy strategists provide a dynamic look into how this struggle has evolved over time. The documentary layers dramatic footage, including never-before-seen Al Qaeda propaganda videos, into an original score by Ravi Krishnaswami, featuring the voices of Yungchen Lhamo and Dennis Brennan.

The June 15th NYC premiere promises to be epic and features a live debate between Christopher Hitchens, author and columnist for Slate and Vanity Fair, and Eric Margolis, an award-winning author and foreign correspondent. Both figures appear prominently in the film. Free beer will be provided afterwards courtesy of the Brooklyn Brewery.

Rob McGann, Aaron Blasius, Co-Producer and Gonzalo Santos, Associate Producer invite everyone to the New York City premiere on Thursday, June 15, 2006, 7:15 PM at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West 64th Street at Central Park West. Tickets and DVDs can be purchased online at http://www.americanzeitgeist.com/ or at the door the night of the event.
