MARK MANNING
Mark
Manning is an independent documentary filmmaker working on a series of
films about Iraq. Part of this series, “Caught in the Crossfire,” will
be screened at the June 2nd event in San Diego
as well on June 4th in Santa Barbara. In 2005, Manning became the only
western unembedded civilian to enter the city of Falluja immediately
following the November 2004 siege, “Operation Phantom Fury.” He lived
with refugees there and experienced the war from their point of view.
Mark’s film currently in production, “The Road to Falluja,” is a
groundbreaking project that documents a post-9/11 environment that led
to a war in Iraq. The film brings to light the common humanity between
two cultures at war, and by doing so presents a real path to peace.

ABOUT AWARE
The
mission of AWARE is to raise consciousness through art, music and
spoken word, and to promote peace and justice through coalitions with
other organizations. Taking an unconventional approach to the peace
movement, AWARE events incorporate local music, poetry and artwork to
blend culture with education. At an AWARE event you will step into an
environment of incredible artists who will entertain you with jazz,

coffee and learn about current social and political events and how you
can get involved in being a part of the solution.
