A brief write-up on the project follows. It would be great if you could forward this to people on your email list. Take care, Jen ************* For a documentary film about the threat to civil liberties post Sept 11th (with the advent of the USA Patriot Act etc.) we are seeking stories about: People (preferably students, preferably in the DC or SF Bay Areas) who who have been directly affected by the "New McCarthyism." Specifically, we are looking for people who have been affected by technology surveillance...someone who may have experienced serious repercussions for going to a given web site or expressing a certain view on line. We are also looking for a college student (or recent grad) who might be willing and able to speak more generally about the new threats to on-line privacy post-Sept. 11th. We would, of course, also welcome stories about people otherwise affected by the USA Patriot Act...but the technology issues are our priority focus at the moment. By way of some background info ... my colleague Vivian Kleiman and I are independent filmmakers based in Berkeley, California. We have been asked to produce a short (20-minute) film for an organization in Washington DC called the Alliance for Justice (www.afj.org). The piece will screen mostly on college campus; the goal being to raise awareness and activism among students around these issues. If you have story ideas, please contact me at: jenpetrucelliat_private Thank you!
