STANDARD OPERARTING PROCEDURE RATED R, Runtime 116 Minutes STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE TRAILER

Filmmaker Errol Morris (Gates of Heaven, The Thin Blue Line) takes an unflinching look at the Abu Ghraib prison scandal while meditating on the frightening side effects of the War on Terror in a thought-provoking documentary from Participant Productions (An Inconvenient Truth).

Is it possible for a photograph to change the world? Photographs taken by soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison changed the war in Iraq and changed America's image of itse. Yet, a central mystery remains. Did the notorious Abu Ghraib photographs constitute evidence of systematic abuse by the American military, or were they documenting the aberrant behavior of a few "bad apples"? We set out to examine the context of these photographs. Why were they taken? What was happening outside the frame? We talked directly to the soldiers who took the photographs and who were in the photographs. Who are these people? What were they thinking? Over two years of investigation, we amassed a million and a ha words of interview transipt, thousands of pages of unredacted reports, and hundreds of photographs. The story of Abu Ghraib is still shrouded in moral ambiguity, but it is clear what happened there. The Abu Ghraib photographs serve as both an expose and a coverup. An expose, because the photographs offer us a glimpse of the horror of Abu Ghraib; and a coverup because they convinced journalists and readers they had seen everything, that there was no need to look further. In recent news reports, we have learned about the destruction of the Abu Zubaydah interrogation tapes. A coverup. It has been front page news. But the coverup at Abu Ghraib involved thousands of prisoners and hundreds of soldiers. We are still learning about the extent of it. Many journalists have asked about "the smoking gun" of Abu Ghraib. It is the wrong question. As Philip Gourevitch has commented, Abu Ghraib is the smoking gun. The underlying question that we still have not resolved, four years after the scandal: how could American values become so compromised that Abu Ghraib--and the subsequent coverup--could happen?

THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI RATED R, Runtime 114 Minutes  CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI TRAILER

As China is ravaged by war in the late '30s, a young English journalist named George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) leads 60 orphans over the Liu Pan Shan mountains and into the safety of the Mongolian desert. Joining the journalist and the children on their arduous journey are an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the fearless leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun-Fat). The journey won't be easy, but as they boldly forge forward through snow-covered mountains and unforgiving desert, they learn the true meaning of responsibility, courage, and love. Jane Hawksley pens a drama based on actual events and directed by renowned filmmaker Roger Spottiswoode.

People often say to us "The movies you show look good, but I have no idea what they are about." Well, we have found a way to get rid of this awful problem. Starting Thursday, July 17th at 8 PM, you can watch a great new show called THE HARBOR REVIEW on channel 97! THE HARBOR REVIEW will be a half hour long program that will consist of trailers for films coming to the Harbor, a discussion about films past and present, audience reactions, guest interviews and much much more! The first episode will contain 6 trailers for films coming soon to the harbor, including the films opening this weekend, STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE and THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI.
 
So, when a friend, co-worker or neighbor doesn't believe you when you tell them we play great films, tell them to check out our TV show so they can learn for themselves. The show premieres this Thursday at 8 PM. It will also air on Monday's at 6:30, and 3 other times unknown to me throughout the week. Check the local listings.
