Shouting Fire: Stories From the Edge of Free Speech
(2009)
Synopsis
Liz Garbus' provocative documentary examines the largely unpopular opinions that have pushed the boundaries of free speech in the United States. Cases include the New York Times' uphill struggle to publish the Pentagon Papers, the American Nazis' efforts to organize a march in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and an embattled college professor whose belief that Americans played a role in provoking the 9/11 attacks may have prompted his dismissal from his school.
