This documentary is a little rough round the edges, but the content hits home very effectively.
The most powerful and shocking parts of the film were the personal testimonies given by ordinary people who's constitutional rights were repressed under the Patriot act. These accounts were very scary indeed -they show that American law enforcement officials are carrying out exactly the same kind of subtle and not so subtle repression of ideas that occurred in many totalitarian communist states such as in the ex Soviet Union or present day China.
The explanation of the historical and political context of the Bush power block and neo-conservatism was also eloquent and interesting.
I urge any American to see it, whatever their political views. It is important that they see what damage is being done to 'freedom' in their country.
