UNCONSTITUTIONAL / WATCH THIS! double feature

UNCONSTITUTIONAL
2004, Nonny De La Pena, US, 60 min.
Wednesday, October 20, 8:00 pm (Gene Siskel Film Center)

Unconstitutional is an hour-long documentary detailing the shocking way that the civil liberties of American citizens have been infringed upon, curtailed, and rolled back since 9/11 -- all in the name of national security. In the rush to pass the USA PATRIOT Act, intelligence agencies have been empowered to "protect freedom and democracy" by destroying freedom and democracy. Real stories depict the personal loss of American civil liberties and present citizens who are resisting those efforts.

A member of the Illinois chapter of the ACLU will be at the screening for an introduction before and a Q and A after the film.

WATCH THIS! before you go vote.
A free, one-hour documentary, Watch This! is a multi-perspective meditation on the nature of political and creative dissent and the government's response in a post 9-11 world.

Shot almost exclusively during the Republican National Convention in New York, this film will surprise you about what really went on in the streets of NYC. A series of personal stories are intertwined to form a disjointedly coherent vision of reality. This complex reality breaks through the superficial nature of current political and social discourse.

Shot, edited, and produced in 40 days, Watch This! is being distributed for FREE as a high-quality download using traditional web sites as well as file-sharing technologies, such as bit-torrent.

Watch This! is produced by Glass Bead Collective (GBC) ­ a multi-disciplinary non-profit art collective.
