First Amendment Saturday!

What a day of extraordinary documentaries! The Betrayal, Larry Flynt:The Right To Be Left Alone, and Strange Culture made this Saturday in the grand Michigan Theater a visual, emotional, thoughtful, anger producing day of film. Ellen Kuras spoke about her 23 year saga of making her first directorial feature about the life of a Laotian/American family. Larry Flynt, still flanked by body guards (and frankly who wouldn't be after being shot in the spine) spoke of his continued fight to uphold the most precious document of the American people-the Constitution. And Steve Kurtz told us about his Kafkain nightmare, that still goes on, with the FBI i.e. The Bush government.
Bottom line: stay involved, donate to the ACLU or the Center for the Constitutional Rights, check out Steve Kurtz. Do Something!
