The producer/director of this and many others including "Outfoxed," "WalMart: The High Cost of Low Prices," "Iraq for Sale," "Rethink Afghanistan" and others joins us today to talk about what might be the most important message of our time.

His website, medicalmarijuana411.com, is a platform for his conflict journalism and gives the victims of the drug war a voice. He brings his experience covering hostilities, both foreign and domestic, to every project he collaborates on. Previous films include A Line in the Sand, ReThink Afghanistan, Koch Brothers Exposed. Mr. Sabzehzar recently spent a month with the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity’s Caravan For Peace filming a project in collaboration with Law Enforcement Against Prohibition which highlights the innocent victims of Mexico’s War on Drugs.

He also worked closely with California’s Regulate Marijuana Like Wine ballot initiative. Mr. Sabzehzar most recently joined the Gary Johnson For President campaign after spending the first half of 2012 as a Campaign Manager for a Congressional race, giving Sam insight into the inner workings of a bid for national political office. Whether he’s building youth hostels in Europe, working on films, or running a campaign, Sam is always finding new ways of motivating those around him to help him achieve any goal, be it a campaign, a film, or world peace.

Join the fight to end the war: ;http://facebook.com/RethinkAfghanistan "The great initiative in this war is ours. The initiative to end it must be ours." --Martin Luther King, Jr., speaking of Vietnam. This week the Pentagon sank to a new low: claiming that Dr. King would "understand" the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. King's legacy is clear: he opposed war and other violence and condemned war as "an enemy of the poor."

On Tuesday morning, your voice was heard in the United States House of Representatives.Over 100,000 people signed the petition from Brave New Foundation, Credo Mobile and True Majority calling on Congress to vote against any bill to fund troop escalation in Afghanistan. Yesterday, Congressman Alan Grayson read the petition aloud from the House floor, asking his colleagues to vote NO.Rep. Grayson’s action was a step forward in demonstrating to Congress our opposition to the war. But we’re far from achieving the groundswell we need to bring the war to an end. Let’s keep the momentum going.

RETHINK Afghanistan (Part 4): Civilian Casualties TRAILER #1

When foreign policy is well-reasoned, we see attention given to humanitarian issues like housing, jobs, health care and education. When that policy consists of applying a military solution to a political problem, however, we see death, destruction, and suffering. Director Robert Greenwald witnessed the latter during his recent trip to Afghanistan--the devastating consequences of U.S. airstrikes on thousands of innocent civilians.The footage you are about to see is poignant, heart-wrenching, and often a direct result of U.S. foreign policy. We must help the refugees whose lives have been shattered by U.S. foreign policy and military attacks. Support the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, an organization dedicated to helping women and children, human rights issues, and social justice. Then, become a Peacemaker. Receive up-to-the-minute information through our new mobile alert system whenever there are Afghan civilian casualties from this war, and take immediate action by calling Congress. http://rethinkafghanistan.com/
