CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Second Sunday Cinema's November presentation will be “Dirty Wars.”

The free film will be shown Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Clearlake United Methodist Church, 14521 Pearl Ave.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the film beginning at 6 p.m.

This well-researched, fast-moving 2013 documentary is based on investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill's book, “Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield.”

Scahill, the acclaimed author of the international bestseller, “Blackwater,” comes upon a fatally flawed night raid by US forces in a remote corner of Afghanistan.

He finds that a highly secretive covert group called Joint Special Operations Command, whose job it is to “find, fix and finish” targets, is involved.

This discovery leads him to further important revelations in other hot spots like Somalia and Yemen.

Scahill finds that no one is beyond reach for JSOC operatives, not even US citizens.

“These wars being fought in our name may be dirty, but this courageous film reminds us that as long as we have a free press, they don't have to be secret,” according to the St Louis Post Dispatch.

Bill Moyers calls Scahill “a one-man truth squad.”

Dirty Wars opened at this year's Sundance Film Festival and won “Best Cinematography.”
