SILP Movie Screening

The Society of International Law and Politics organised a movie screening on 11th December 2008 to commemorate World Human Rights Day on 10th December. A documentary purportedly on state sponsored terrorism, “Terror Storm” was screened in Room 006. However, the documentary turned out to be more of a conspiracy theory, holding the US, UK and Israeli governments responsible for all acts of terror occurring in the world over the past half century. The Bush and Blair administration were singled out for special mention for their role in 9/11 and the London bombings. While red-faced directors rued their mistake in screening a film without watching it first, the audience of mostly First Year students seemed to enjoy the more radical of the conspiracy theories being propounded by the maker of the documentary.
