- CANNES, FRANCE Aaron Russo's incendiary political documentary
which exposes many of the governmental organizations and entities that
have abridged the freedoms of U.S. citizens had its international premiere
at Cannes and won a standing ovation. The event, which was held on the
beach and filled to capacity, was open to the public and drew a crowd of
people who stood along the boardwalk to watch the film.
-
- Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen,
as well the former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents, tax attorneys
and authors, Russo proves conclusively that there is no law requiring citizens
to pay a direct tax on their labor. His film connects the dots between
money creation, federal income tax, voter fraud, the national identity
card (which becomes law in May 2008) and the implementation of Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology to track citizens. Neither left nor right-wing
in perspective, the film concludes that the U.S. government is taking on
the characteristics of a police state. Doc will open on multiple screens
in cities across the U.S. beginning July 28.
-
- The international audience at Cannes
as well as the European media has been fascinated by Russo's fiery diatribe
against the direction America is heading. The discussion that followed
the preview lasted for thirty minutes. Actor Nick Nolte, in Cannes for
the premiere of "Over The Hedge," joined Russo during the event.
"The information in this film is something everybody has to know",
said Nolte, who was the lead actor in "Teachers," a film produced
by Russo.
-
- Russo, who is best known as the producer
of feature films including "The Rose" with Bette Midler and "Trading
Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, wrote, produced, and directed
the doc. "I am disgusted by the direction America was heading,"
says Russo. "I made this movie because I want to live in a free country
and I want my kids and grandkids to live in a free country. The American
people must abandon the myth that America is still the land of liberty
that it once was."
-
- Russo's doc already has a tremendous
grass root groundswell behind it. The film has previewed in over twenty-five
cities with sold out theatres and standing ovations. The website, www.freedomtofascism.com
has been had over five hundred thousand (500,000) streams of the video
trailer. Additionally, through the website and from grassroots screenings,
over $100,000 in non-deductible donations has been collected to help with
the theatrical release.
