Synposis:
Liberty Bound takes an entertaining look at America's ongoing struggle to
keep a comfortable balance between democracy, capitalism, and fascism.
This is a film about historic events that shape history. It is a film
about courage and fear; ignorance and knowledge; propaganda and rhetoric.

Christine set out to answer these questions on her quest across America:
What is fascism and why does that word increasingly appear in the
alternative and foreign media when referencing the United States?
Are we losing our civil liberties?
Is our very constitution and Bill of Rights in jeopardy?
Do Americans know what their government is doing?
How much does the media affect our opinions on what's happening?

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 its ostensible move toward fascism.
We talk with 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. Liberty Bound leaves us with the question: "Is the United
States bound for liberty - or does it just have liberty bound?

1. This is an important film
It's a little rough technically - obviously a first effort on a small budget - but there's lots of good stuff here.

2. Reprehensor and I attended this last night....
and Minstrel is right. But this girl's dedication and sense of responsibility were amazing.

She started off with a small video camera, some computer video editing software, and a lot of anger.

She now has French distribution for this film, and has gotten it marketed to several countries.

she shared her experiences with us after the film, and got us even more motivated to go out and change things. If she could do this much with almost no job (originally), no money, no production staff, and no promotional staff, think what the rest of us can do!

She and her husband finally went through $40,000 of their own money so she could get this film released. I highly recommend it. And she dares to do what Michael Moore didn't-- mention PNAC.
