Happy Sunday Andy! Thank you for this amazing interview and for the opportunity to watch and listen to three incredibly talented, intelligent and inspiring people! Onwards ! And Andy, if you ever run out of seashells, I have an extensive collection! 😉💕
Click the big blue button on the top of the page that says "Watch Now for Free" and it will take you to the video page. You can click on either the feature length (89 minute) or shorter 55 minute version of the film. The video player will ask for your name and email to view the film. Those emails are secure and will be used sparingly for future updates about the film.
Thanks for the explanation. It was a little confusing to see 2 different links with different running times but the exact same description. Then when I clicked on one to get more info it immediately wanted my email. It might be helpful to clarify that on the thumbnails.
I’ve tried clicking on the links after Watch Now and get a message ‘unable to load registration form’ Try again. After multiple attempts on my iPhone, iPad using Duck Duck Go and Safari to access the website and registering my email address, I can’t get the film to load. Suggestions?
Thank you AB! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Late to the party, but this was an excellent and exciting interview. It’s a queasy truth that we are currently censored, and because of this interview, we know it. Thank you to these genius artists. Not many people understand how the constitution was crafted, or the danger in the lack of relative representation. (California here. I’d sure like more representation!) In law school, we were taught to revere the constitution. Our forefathers were never discussed honestly vis a vis the slavery issue. They are revered. The country was built on slavery, north and south, and “twenty acres and a mule” was a bum deal. When people said “my family came over on the Mayflower!”, it was only in my adolescence that I learned that if that were the case, you were either a miscreant, drunk or a thief that got sent off to a colony. Michael Moore: Remember Sicko? Couldn’t sell that now! So much for antitrust laws, guys, as your interviewees sagely emphasize. It’s Bezos and Ellison (and more). Excuse the prolixity - (now there’s a good word, Andy. Orange menace would think it’s a smoothie..) Thank you both again! Looking forward to the movie..💕
Thank you! I’m sorry I did t see this first. I clicked on the55 min version not realizing it was the same film but less content. I will have to watch the longer version tomorrow. Fantastic - and scary - film. We need to start by abolishing the electoral college. Or at minimum, apportion the votes by the number of actual votes and not winner take all. Thank you for this beautifully done film!
I'm grateful for you Andy! Thank you for sharing such a powerful and important documentary, and for keeping hope and humor front and center in such a perilous time.
I’ve shared across every platform except Twitter because I don’t have it anymore. Happy World Press Freedom Day. Keep Journalism free, unimpeded and keep journalists alive and out of prison.
Hi! Film team here, that's right we are only available for this free screening in the US due to rights issues. Stay connected with us on Substack or sign up for the mailing list to be updated when it's available more widely! Thanks for your interest.
Thank you all for your courage and humor in shining a spotlight on! Ann, I’m a retired English teacher and editor and would edit anything for you for free😉.
Andy, this is a prequel to what's happening now. All the predictions about what Trump would do have come true, and continue to come true, and are even worse that people could have imagined. These women are incredibly talented.
Jill - my initial comment was one of sadness for what has become . . . but you have reminded me of the brave and creatively talented women who provided us this video, and all the guest speakers who spelled out what has happened and why. I am grateful for their work.
Signed up! Unbelievable that we have been saturated in all of these “laws” that bind us for damn long. The blinders are off and let’s rip the Constitution apart and start all over again.
THANK YOU. We absolutely must bring our constitution into the present century---any loan-seeking business in the USA would be turned down if it had not updated its business plan within the past five years, and here we are with a 250-year-old one! I bought into the "democracy myth" that Laura discussed for far too long, not believing that we had achieved it, but that most of us were dedicated to working toward it. (P.S. I volunteer to edit Ann's cartoons for spelling and grammar for free.)
Happy World Press Freedom Day! And thank you for supporting what I do ♥️

Love your kryptonite
How do we view the film? My tech abilities are pretty slim.

Yes!! Terrific interview!
Just watched the feature length. EXCELLENT in its scope and format. Thanks to everyone who had anything to do with making it.

Don't like the term "sparingly" sorry Andy. It means my inbox will be filled with begging letters.

A perfect way to honor World Press Freedom Day: watch this truly entertaining podcast and follow it up with the fabulous doc, Democracy Under Siege!
I can't rave enough! What a treat!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Freedom & democracy under siege? Not on our watch. Start with press freedom. Finish with “86-47”!
2547 would work too
So would II 4 47 (Impeachment clause!)
Excellent idea!

I'm only on bluesky and then only sporadically, but I did share there.
It is a powerful movie. I've watched it twice already.
How did you watch it? I've tried repeatedly.

Now it worked. Thank you. The page is different.
I'd like to donate, but I'm having trouble with the donation page, especially the Visa or Mastercard question.
It works only when you are in the U.S. unless you use a VPN.

Thanks for your reply. Since I am usually using a VPN anyway, I was able to watch it. Great film!
Can’t watch it at all
Glad to see you got some help.
I'm skeptical of anyone trading my information for something for free.
Can’t download to view
You three are amazing. Thank you for not giving up on sane Americans. More, please!!
Thank you for the post. Will be watching the film later today. One more, of many, reasons to be on Substack.
Ten minutes into your interview with Ann and Laura and I'm enthralled! Can't wait to see the film, Andy! Thank you for this!! ❤️
Thank you all for your courage and humor in shining a spotlight on! Ann, I’m a retired English teacher and editor and would edit anything for you for free😉.
many thank you's AB for interviewing these two amazing Artists. We still have Enlightenment, right?
Thanks to Ann and Laura for making the film which I am about to see and to Andy for this interview. Seashell collectors unite!

I tried and tried. I only saw a trailer, I think or is it just a couple of minutes long? 😢
I tried to see it and only saw like a trailer of it. I tried several ways and times. 😢
I just watched it. Amazing and frightening and oh so true. Don’t miss it.
