BERLIN -- The 2006 Berlin International Film Festival will feature the third and final edition of its Selling Democracy strand, which looks at propaganda and political reality as reflected by the films produced in Europe in the wake of World War II, organizers said Friday. After 2004's Welcome Mr. Marshall and this year's Winning The Peace series, the 2006 sidebar will be titled Friendly Persuasion and will focus on the rebuilding of Western Europe in the wake of the war's devastation, when American moral and commercial values were exported to the shattered continent.
