GNN Feature Film: This Revolution
Just received a heads up on this new film produced by Stephen Marshall of the Guerilla News Network. This Revolution stars Rosario Dawson and will premiere at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival (next month). Check out the trailer here.
Not that the activist video/film genre is anything new BUT the clout it now has is pretty astounding. I think it's cool that an independent political film was able to sign-on Rosario Dawson. Currently, Don Cheadle stars in Hotel Rwanda (still need to see it), and Fahrenheit 911 grossed over 100 million dollars!! Looks like people are willing to listen (and cough up the cash) if you have something politically powerful to say.

i think this newest trend of documentaries is really exciting. i know too many people discouraged by what they feel is the too-minimal effect of protesting, worried that they're just preaching to the converted before being misrepresented by media. and i hear them. so i'm excited and optimistic that this new "fad" is a really great way to invogorate discussions we never should have stopped having...
