"There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly, with their heads in the clouds
See them smile now, marching off in lines." - Oingo Boingo

The military has decided it needs more troops in Afghanistan (didn't see that...

Here at Brave New Films, we make films that reach out to the community. We often ask for input and involvement from our friends and neighbors across the country. Our most recent Sick For Profit documentary broke the mold. The response to "The Health Insurance Racket" (which profiles CIGNA)...

Who would have thought that the 21st century challenge to capitalism would come in the form of a rip-roaring funny and emotionally moving film?

Michael has done it.

Last night I attended the Los Angeles premiere of Michael Moore's latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story. What an incredible piece...

The war in Afghanistan is increasing the likelihood that Americans will be killed in a future terrorist attack.

Part 6 of Brave New Foundation's "Rethink Afghanistan" documentary series brings you three former CIA agents on the record to explain why.

What does UnitedHealth Group CEO Stephen Hemsley have to lose if Congress passes real health care reform this year? Well, for starters, Hemsley's nearly three quarters of a billion dollars in unexercised stock options might lose a few pennies on the dollar if insurance providers like UnitedHealth Group are forced...

The U.S. has a catastrophically fragmented system that provides incentives for sick care instead of prevention. The system is in dire need of reform -- reform to save lives, to save families and to save money for both patients and the American health care system.

"I spend 40 percent of...

When I directed Iraq for Sale, it became appallingly evident that private contractors like CACI and Titan played a critical role in the torture and abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. Much like Blackwater, KBR, and others, these war profiteers were never held accountable for their unconscionable crimes....

Self immolation is a method of suicide by lighting oneself on fire. According to the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, self immolation has never been such an epidemic in Afghanistan as it is today. This is one fact that leads people to the sobering reality that our efforts...

Farrah and Ryan came to visit me about a month ago.

Her spirit and passion and intelligence were as sharp as ever.

The deep connection between Farrah and Ryan stronger then ever, with the teasing and humor in full throttle.

But her body was being destroyed by the cancer. And...

Well-reasoned foreign policy results in more housing and jobs, better health care and education. When that policy consists of applying a military solution to a political problem, however, it results in death, destruction, and suffering. I witnessed the latter during my recent trip to Afghanistan -- the devastating consequences of...

In 2007, 82 Democratic members of Congress signed a pledge. They would never again vote to fund the war in Iraq without plans for troop withdrawal.

Republican critics accused them of demagoguing the war. Of using our soldiers as a political pawns, of not meaning what they said.

Those...

I'm in DC this week for the America's Future Now! conference, where I'm helping bring together a panel of experts from Afghanistan to discuss the war with conference attendees and members of Congress. As this war escalates, as the death toll soars and the financial and moral...

Both corporate giants have long track records of harassing their workers when it comes to joining unions. Harassment and intimidation are illegal under Federal law, and we won't stand for it. Tell Howard Schultz, Starbucks' billionaire owner, to respect the people who work for Starbucks.

"The regional manager...

The economic crisis is out of control, as Bank of America and the corrupt corporate elite continue to wage class warfare. It's time we hit back hard. It's time we fire CEO Ken Lewis.

Our good friends at SEIU have been courageously leading this fight. We need to...

Everything we have all worked toward in our Rethink Afghanistan campaign -- interviewing experts, airing debates, passing around parts of the documentary, and signing the petition for Congressional oversight hearings -- is starting to pay off. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to bring Rick Reyes, a...

I appeared on Tavis Smiley last night to talk about In Their Boots and the issues facing veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now in its second season, In Their Boots is a Brave New Foundation series highlighting the reality that when the war ends...

We bring you Cost of War, part three of our Rethink Afghanistan documentary, which delves into the financial costs of this broadening war.

As we pay our tax bills, it seems an appropriate time to urge everyone to Rethink Afghanistan, a war that currently costs over $2 billion...

One day back from my trip to Afghanistan, and I first want to thank so many of you who sent wonderful messages, encouragement, and suggestions. Being in a dark room in Kabul while being able to post on Facebook and Twitter truly speaks to the connected...

Recent protests in Pakistan reveal the country's potential explosiveness. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and a government disconnected from the crippling poverty, rampant malnutrition, and lack of healthcare afflicting its people. Though Pakistan remains an ally of the United States, tensions continue to rise as the U.S. considers broadening military strikes...

I directed Ron Silver twice. I used to tease him I was the only director who would work with him more then once. First time was a film about Amnesty International where he played the Amnesty representative to Turkey. He was incredibly funny, and we spent a couple of months...
