Cannes Applauds Groundbreaking "America: Freedom to Fascism"

Because nothing in America is real until we see it on the Big Screen, this might be how the revolution will be televised. I referenced “America: Freedom to Fascism” at the News Room a while back, but it looks like it might rise above being just another “critical independent documentary”:Because nothing in America is real until we see it on the Big Screen, this might be how the revolution will be televised. I referenced “America: Freedom to Fascism” at the News Room a while back, but it looks like it might rise above being just another “critical independent documentary”:

“Aaron Russo’s incendiary political documentary which exposes many of the governmental organizations and entities that have abridged the freedoms of U.S. citizens had its international premiere at Cannes and won a standing ovation. The event, which was held on the beach and filled to capacity, was open to the public and drew a crowd of people who stood along the boardwalk to watch the film.”

“Neither left nor right-wing in perspective, the film concludes that the U.S. government is taking on the characteristics of a police state.”

“Russo, who is best known as the producer of feature films including “The Rose” with Bette Midler and “Trading Places” with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, wrote, produced, and directed the doc. “I am disgusted by the direction America was heading,” says Russo. “I made this movie because I want to live in a free country and I want my kids and grandkids to live in a free country. The American people must abandon the myth that America is still the land of liberty that it once was.”

Russo’s doc already has a tremendous grass root groundswell behind it. The film has previewed in over twenty-five cities with sold out theatres and standing ovations. The website, www.freedomtofascism.com has been had[sic] over five hundred thousand (500,000) streams of the video trailer.”
