May 11, 2006 MARATHON SPECIAL This was a two-hour fundraising edition
of Behind the News. Much of the program was devoted to fundraising;
the substantive content was excerpts from the soundtrack of the
excellent film Occupation: Dreamland and an interview with its co-
director, Ian Olds. The film is the product of embedding with the
82nd Airborne in Fallujah in the winter of 2004; it’s a brilliant and
complex view of why people join the army, how they think and feel,
and the forces compelling their loyalty. This is only the interview
with Olds. Additionally, everyone should pledge to WBAI and also buy
a copy of the DVD of O:D.
