(The interview with Howard Zinn in this film is alone worth the price of admission.)
Texas Filmmakers Series
Liberty Bound By Christine Rose Monday, Oct. 11 and Monday, Oct. 25 at 7PM at the Angelika Film Center The Video Association of Dallas, known for its unrelenting support of independent filmmakers, will showcase Christine Rose's Liberty Bound as the October installment of the Texas Filmmaker's Series at the Angelika Film Center. The screenings will be held on Monday, Oct. 11 and Monday, Oct. 25 at 7PM.
Liberty Bound is a provocative look at the United States post-9/11, when measures such as the Patriot Act, which were designed to increase national security, may have had some damaging effects on civil liberties. Christine Rose, formerly of Huntsville, Texas, poses some difficult questions in an entertaining Michael Moore- style and looks at America's ongoing struggle to keep a comfortable balance among democracy, captalism, and fascism. Through original footage, archived footage, and interviews with people such as Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, and Michael Ruppert, Liberty Bound explores the state of the union and some of its more frightening moves toward repression. She profiles people who have been interrogated by the Secret Service and threatened with arrest for doing such benign things as sending an email, turning around during a Bush speech, and having a philosophical discussion on a train. www.libertybound.com.
