A movie called "This Revolution", about protesters.
Just saw the last part of a Tweety interview with Robert Redford. Redford highly praised a little movie at Sundance he saw called "This Revolution" about what's been happening with protesters (I think at the RNC, maybe 2000). He bemoaned this admin's power to shut down opposing points of view and thinks shows with info like this is really important. I have no other info on it, but will post when I hear something. Sounds very promising to me!

1. I can't wait to see that.

It's produced by some of the fine folks at GNN. That should be fun for anyone who attended the demonstrations, we can look for ourselves in the background.

I heard their were some docs produced at the RNC as well, I think one had the "Billionares For Bush" in it.

2. It'll be interesting to see if it pisses the repugs off
as much as F9/11 did. And supposedly this flick is only showing the other side of the coin-ours. Redford seemed blown away by it.

3. I think the trailer is here...

Looks interesting...another tidbit is that Redford's daughter is in it...you don't think he's pushing it because of that...???

4. I had no clue about his daughter. . But still, it would be
nice to see our point of view represented. And for all the people who were able to be there, they might be in a movie! :-)

6. Saw your trailer and now I don't know
what to think. So, it's a movie about a documentary, i.e., the dem. viewpoint. I should have figured that out after hearing Redford talk about his 'view' (i.e., make a movie with some mission, reason, or a moral).

But the guy in the trailer was angry! I'm not THAT angry, yet.
