Twin
Cities Indymedia and the Glass Bead Collective have assembled a 30
minute video documenting the surveillance, pre-emptive raids and
arrests at the 2008 Republican Convention in St Paul, MN. The film is
available online (if you've got some bandwidth).
MINNEAPOLIS - On Tuesday, October 28, Glass Bead Collective, Twin Cities Indymedia, and other independent media activists will release a new film, "Terrorizing Dissent: Election Cut," an expose of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, "Terrorizing Dissent" focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.
Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent: Election Cut" will be released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this important film.
