Improved Cindy Sheehan Video Now on Current TV Site--Please Vote!
Hi, everyone.

I've just uploaded to Current TV's site a new and improved "Grace at Camp Casey" version 2.0. It's been further edited AND includes additional footage from Day 22 of the protest.

If you'll go hit the "greenlight" button, maybe we can get it broadcast! (You'll have to register there in order to vote, but it's minimal.)

Please spread the word to your friends!

Many thanks also to liveoaktx for putting the new version on his site at http://www.canofun.com!

(Also, if anyone is willing to host a non-compressed version, pls let me know and I'll get it to you. The non-compressed large file is 54.4 MB and the non-compressed small file is 16.3 MB.)

Many thanks!!

3. Cinema verite, as in TRUTH...this is participant narrative at it's finest.
I am impressed with the exceptionally high quality of this piece. The film maker tells the story entirely from the perspective of the participants. It has a continuous thread and theme. For me, it was captured when the young mother said "I'm embarrassed that my country can't buy my son...shoes!" "Not one more" was also particularly moving, given the fact that, tragically, there have been many more since that scene was filmed.

(END of my review)
--------------------------

I'm the "first to review" this on the site. It's f'ing rocks and rocks hard. I was obviously presenting my more cerebral (minimally) self on the site in deference to the high quality of the work.

I'm glad to hear this is in broadcast quality video. Take it to film (remember 2000 Motels...I know, you weren't born then).

Thanks for this. It's well worth it and I'll spread the link!

4. Great work, Snot!
Medea and Cindy will be in Boston this weekend, speaking at BU and BC, respectively. Can't wait to see these great women!

12. I wish Medea had been there when I was . . .
But I did get to meet some really great folks the first time we went, since there weren't too many people yet. In addition to those shown, I also loved Diane Wilson and Ann Wright (the decision not to put much or any of them in the video was painful, but we felt it impt. to keep the video short enough to show online).
