NEW YORK -- The Ironweed Film Club, a new DVD distribution program set to launch Dec. 1, is aiming to advance progressive causes. Funded by Act Now Prods. president Adam Werbach "as a more effective way to create social change than elections," Ironweed will offer monthly special-edition DVDs featuring full-length features and related shorts, screening party guidelines and organizing tools to connect subscribers with local grass-roots organizations. Ironweed's first DVD will be Wetback, Arturo Perez Torres' feature docu following two Nicaraguan immigrants to the U.S., accompanied by the shorts "Where is Iraq?" -- about Iraqis now exiled in Jordan -- and Terminal Bar, focusing on various minority groups over the years at a rough New York bar.
