Screening of “Why We Fight” view trailer >>

Synopsis In 1961, as Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his final address to the nation before leaving the office of President of the United States, he warned that America "must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence...by the military-industrial complex." Nearly 45 years later, as the United States finds itself waging a war in Iraq for reasons that seem increasingly unclear with the passage of time, Eisenhower's statement becomes all the more pertinent, and the question becomes more apt: has the machinery the United States established to wage war helped prevent conflict, or has it done more to inspire it? Documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki offers an in-depth look at how the United States has readied itself for battle, and why and how the nation goes to war in the film Why We Fight. Named for Frank Capra's famed series of Defense Department films (which explained the motives behind America's entry into World War II), Why We Fight features interviews with foot soldiers, Army recruits, Pentagon personnel, decorated veterans, members of Congress, national security advisors, top military strategists, and many more as they talks about the core philosophies of American military strategy and how they have changed since the end of the Second World War. Why We Fight received the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

“Lessons in Truth” is frequently referred to as Unity’s basic textbook. It is a compilation of articles written by Dr. H. Emile Cady who was a true holistic pioneer. Born in 1848, this homeopathic physician treated her patients both medically and spiritually. Cady was an inspired by biblical teachings and influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was a contemporary of Emmet Fox, a great metaphysician and lecturer; Ernest Holmes, founder of the church of the Religious Science; and Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, co-founders of the Unity movement.

The book is written in a clear, concise representation of New Thought philosophy and metaphysical Christianity. Dr Cady’s straight-forward approach and no-nonsense style make her words as powerful as they are timeless. She encourages us to find our own truth as it is written in our hearts and then apply these truths in every area of our lives.
