Beyond Convention: Speaking truth to power in new documentary on the DNC
4 comments
Click image above to see the documentary (Warning: explicit language)
.
You do not need to agree with the protesters to be educated by this half-hour documentary. Look for a wide range of viewpoints from the left and the right, from the Progressive Democrats of America to the Minutemen.
The video of the confrontations between protesters and the police are especially insightful. More meaningful may be the speakers at the well-attended events that were ignored by mainstream media.
The documentary is not always kind to either the Democratic Party nor Barack Obama, yet it is an honest portrayal of those who came to Denver from across the country to let their voices be heard. You may agree with them or not, as you wish, yet I believe we need to listen to what our fellow Americans are saying.
No matter whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green, or independent, no matter how you plan to vote in November, please take a half hour to view this important documentary on American affairs.
Warning: The video contains occasional explicit language for adults only.
