Ironweed: A Film Club for Progressives

Do you love movies but struggle to find what you want at the local megaplex or video store? Let's face it: The huge multi-national corporations that are cranking out the Hollywood hits aren't making many great, independent-minded films.

The folks at Ironweed, the new progressive film club, have a solution for progressives looking for independent films. Mother Jones teamed up with them to offer Mother Jones supporters the first opportunity to join this fun new effort to take back the media.

The idea is simple: Sign up for the club, and every month you'll get a DVD in the mail that contains an award-winning independent feature film, a short film, and free extras.

Subscribe now and get a special offer for Mother Jones supporters -- a one-month trial for the cost of shipping (just $2.95), and only $14.95 a month thereafter.

The films are yours to keep. Add them to your library, show them to your friends, or pass them on. If you don't think the films are great, you can cancel with no hassles.

Ironweed takes subscription-based film clubs to an entirely new level, providing resources to help members build and strengthen the progressive movement at the local level.

Just as conservatives have strengthened their movement by tapping into social organizations like churches and civic groups, Ironweed provides a fun and exciting way for progressives to meet new people in their communities and build a vital local network through independent film clubs.

Ironweed sends you films like "Power Trip," the tragicomic film that follows an American company that buys the energy system in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia and sends two bungling Americans to make the Georgians pay for power. The film won the Berlin film Festival, but you can't see it anywhere in America except through Ironweed.

Or "Wetback," the touching award-winner that follows two friends who leave Nicaragua to find their fortune and face the vigilante Minutemen on the Arizona border.

We hope you'll consider becoming an Ironweed charter subscriber. Click here to JOIN NOW.



P.S. Try the Ironweed film Club for a free month for just the cost of shipping. If you don't love it, just cancel -- it's easy.
