"Information is the ultimate weapon," this program proclaims. Based in New York City, Guerrilla News Network (GNN) is an independent news organization with a mission to expose young people to important global news and information free from corporate filters, through programming on the Web and on TV. GNN's news videos are 5 to 10 minute documentaries combining high-impact images, commentary by media experts, scholars, and political leaders with music cuts by top recording artists. Ammo for the Info Warrior 2 features nine of GNN's most compelling news videos, including "IBM and the Holocaust," "CopWatch," and "Closer: The Fall of Baghdad." This innovative educational tool introduces serious socio-political issues to a generation brought up on MTV and will serve as an ideal catalyst for discussion and debate, encouraging students to develop skills in critical thinking. Sections: CopWatch; Contaminated: The New Science of Food; Drug War Reality Tour; Faith in Exile; IBM and the Holocaust; Closer: The Fall of Baghdad; BattleGround: 21 Days on the Empire's Edge - Trailer; The Quiet and Subtle Cyclone; Rong Radio
