An email from Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, ACLU
Coming to TV on 9/8: The ACLU Freedom FilesACLU members and supporters ask me regularly how we can strip away the headlines, sound bytes and easy clichés about our work and show the world the effect of civil liberties on real people every day. I'm thrilled to tell you about a new television program we're launching that does exactly that,
The ACLU Freedom Files.
With this series, we have an unprecedented opportunity to capture public attention and teach and mobilize new audiences around the pressing civil liberties issues that threaten people all across America.
Developed and created in partnership with award-winning film producer Robert Greenwald (Unconstitutional, Outfoxed),
The ACLU Freedom Files, produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Jeremy Kagan, is a series of ten 30-minute episodes featuring real clients and the attorneys who defend them, as well as well-known actors, activists and comedians.
