FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DAVID O. RUSSELLS ORPHANED SOLDIER FINDS A HOME WITH CINEMA LIBRE
DISTRIBUTION AND ROBERT GREENWALD
The Collaboration of Soldiers Pay and Uncovered: The War on Iraq
To Create a Powerful, Political Force Across the Country
September 22, 2004/Los Angeles, CA After Warner Bros. called off plans
to distribute David O. Russells new anti-war documentary SOLDIERS PAY,
which was scheduled to be screened this fall with the re-release of his
1999 Gulf War film, Three Kings, Cinema Libre Studio has stepped in to
distribute the film in conjunction with UNCOVERED: THE WAR ON IRAQ. The
political doc double bill makes a powerful duo, complimenting each other
with strong arguments about the consequences of war and the lies that were
told to get there.
Documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald has welcomed Russells 35-minute
film, SOLDIERS PAY, a directorial collaboration between Russell, Tricia
Regan and Juan Carlos Zaldîvar, to play in theaters across the U.S. with
Greenwalds critically-acclaimed political doc UNCOVERED: THE WAR ON
IRAQ. In addition, the film will be included as part of the UNCOVERED
DVD release, due out early next month. I am excited to participate in
this double bill, expresses Robert Greenwald, that serves the audience.
Both films take you inside the government speaking out about distortion of
information, and David Russells powerful personal story of the toll war
takes on those who have to fight it.
SOLDIERS PAY is a $207, 000 doc, directed by David O. Russell, Tricia
Regan and Juan Carlos Zaldîvar, featuring interviews with Iraqi refugees,
human-rights officials and veterans of the current war on Iraq. Warner
Bros. was planning on screening the film in theaters along with the
re-release of Three Kings in order to promote the reissue of a new
special-edition DVD. After scrapping the short doc, Warner Bros gave
Russell back the rights to SOLDIERS PAY, not wanting to get involved
with a political opinion doc before of the November election. Im very,
very pleased that Soldiers Pay will be released side-by-side with the work
of Robert Greenwald at this time hes an important filmmaker, expressed
David O. Russell.
Cinema Libre is proud to continue its tradition of providing an outlet to
the political voices of filmmakers. With David O. Russells patriotic film
about the terrible costs of war, Cinema Libre and Greenwald hope to
instill awareness within audiences about the dangers of being mislead into
war, and the toll wars take on those who must fight them.
Greenwald and Cinema Libre Distribution initially partnered to the
theatrically release Greenwalds doc. OUTFOXED: RUPERT MURDOCHS WAR ON
JOURNALISM that opened August 6th in theaters across the U.S. Soon
afterwards, the duo collaborated on the release of UNCOVERED, a second
film in a Greenwald quartet of docs about the political climate in the
U.S. Cinema Libre Distribution and Greenwald recently announced the
October 1st launch of UNCONSTITUTIONAL and UNPRECEDENTED into
theaters, as a double bill.
While political films are considered a risk for the Majors, Cinema Libre
and Greenwald saw this opportunity as a suitable collaboration of
like-minded independent voices. I think it is essential that cinema
provokes an emotion with any audience, states Philippe Diaz, Head of
Cinema Libre Studio. We created Cinema Libre to provide independent
filmmakers with a partner in producing and distributing daring and
provocative films. We are extremely pleased to be associated with a group
of talented people.
Starting Thursday September 23rd,SOLDIERS PAY will screen before
UNCOVERED: THE WAR ON IRAQ at the Roxie in San Francisco and on Friday,
September 24th at the Oaks in Berkeley. The double bill will then move to
select cities across the country. Russells film will also become part of
the UNCOVERED DVD release, due out on October 19th.
