I just received this and thought I might share it.
If you love movies with a strong provocative message, and struggle to find what you want at the local video store because they mostly stock the mega-hits that are cranking out of Hollywood, then you will want to take a look at our friends at Ironweed Films. They have a very reasonably-priced monthly film club geared toward progressives looking for quality, independent films. Ironweed has made a great offer to introduce Democrats.com members to their service.
SUBSCRIBE NOW and get a FREE TRIAL MONTH for the cost of shipping (just $2.95) and then only $14.95 a month thereafter. The idea is simple: sign up for the club and each month you'll receive a DVD in the mail that contains an award-winning feature film and one or two short films. The films are yours to keep - add them to your library, show them to your friends, or pass them on. If you don't think the films are great, you can cancel with no hassles.
What kind of films do you get? Films like The War Tapes , a powerful documentary that chronicles the day-to-day lives of three National Guardsmen in the Iraq war. With miniDV cameras strapped to their Hummers and helmets, their story is told literally through their eyes. The film won the Tribeca Film Festival award for Best Documentary, if you subscribe to Ironweed you can have a film like this delivered to you every month.
Or How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff , which is a clear how-to guide written by a UC Berkeley Professor of Linguistics on how Democrats and Progressives need to look at the world and frame their messages in order to be heard in the era of sound-bytes and catch phrases.
Ironweed scours the world's best film festivals and critics' circles to promote the issue-oriented films that audiences love but the major Hollywood studios avoid. With your support, we can promote the distribution of this type of content. And Ironweed gives you the chance to join a local film club, or, start your own.
We hope you'll become an Ironweed subscriber and help make the studios stand up and take notice. If you take part in this offer, part of your initial subscription fee and monthly payments go directly to Democrats.com.
Together we can change the face of media in America.
Thanks,
