A powerful documentary about Americans protecting their rights and civil liberties

VOICES OF DISSENT: ACTIVISM AND AMERICAN DEMOCRACY (DIR. KARIL DANIELS)

Features an interview with the filmmaker
This award-winning documentary focuses on some of the brave citizens who are defending our American heritage of First Amendment rights and civil liberties against government attempts to repress democracy and our freedom to dissent. It includes many of the surprising and creative ways Americans have found to express their views in dissent against the Bush administration's policy of war in Iraq. Using theatre, song, dance, comedy, satire, music, poetry, interviews with many well-known personalities and the wisdom of our founding fathers, Voices of Dissent reminds us of our roots and the importance of protecting authentic democracy. It challenges anyone who would limit the freedoms and civil liberties granted in the Constitution and Bill of Rights as fundamentally un-American, even if they are our own leaders. It inspires viewers to speak out, vote and actively protect our heritage of democracy, before we lose it. To learn more about this film, go to: voicesofdissent.us.
