The Battle For America

does peace have a chance? that's up to you.

JUST GREENLIGHT IT

Awesome words. Invigorating approach.

Very good. Shows that Americans won't back down from those who despise freedom and democracy in order to add gold to their coffers.

air this shit! im sure al gore approves :)

awesome, we need this sentiment now more than ever

thanks for making this video.

Really good subject matter. Really well done

Authentic, intense and intimate -- this is the perfect piece to watch when the political climate's got you clawing at the walls. Well done!

This is extraordinarily well done. But if you're reading these comments, you know that already. What an absolute and total editing nightmare! And I thought I spent a lot of time in front of the computer. Great visuals. Nice change-ups on 1-shots to give visual variety. Great sound. Good directing. I got the chills. Just brilliant.

Inspireing exelent great writing profound message

Initial reaction was "Cheese", but that quickly gave way to teary eyed hopefulness. Much needed.

I like this. I reconized a few people from this. If you ever watch that show on IFC called "Film School" the actor who played Amadou Diallo was in it and director, Vincenzo who is originally from Italy was in it.

Love this!

I think in the first intro bit the word comrade shouldn't be used. I think it may bring to mind communism to way too many people, cold war mentality etc.

This is my new national anthem! I wish I could play it for everyone I know. I've been thinking things are so "F-ed" up for so long that there was no hope. But now I know, to never give up hope on America. HISTORY IS WITH US!

Excellent composition.y. Unfortunately...in today's America...you can't motivate to care.

True. it's encouraging to hear so many voices. What is needed is a combination or critical mass and creativity, and this piece has it. I love the compressed look you got from using the telephoto. Its an unusual look for on the street interviews and has givin this piece a beautyful look.

Now more than ever, do we need to unite like-minded ideas and energy in order to revolutionize our system, our society, and our spirits. This film speaks truth and I am glad to know that I am not the only one in this battle for America

Great stuff, good cut and production, great sentiment supported all over the world. Now cut a 30 sec and 1 min version for TV. Then start the campaign to get people to enrol to VOTE. That's how the Bush Regime got into power again....... Here is a timely quote "Why, of course the people don't want war ... but, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship ... voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger." -Herman Goering, War Crimes trials, Nuremberg 1946.

Beautiful.....

fantastic words and directing. brava!

I was really impressed by this - I'm not sure if you hired these actors, but they really did a great job. Well spoken, well written, well directed. *greenlight*

This piece was amazing. Can't wait until it's on the air for all to see.

a little too preachy, and a little too late. find a common ground to reach america, many don't feel this way in the midwest. don't be so forward, but offer ideas. for the quality and style, i have seen better in my college film studios. i say par at best, if that. keep striving, you might make it someday.

i wondered if this was scripted or edited together from many, many interviews...can the filmmaker put a note about that on the site for the upload? it's very powerful, made me feel like i was watching a spoken word performance. i wished that there was a touch more of a suggestion about HOW we can take back america...
