PlLEASE sign this petition for Lionsgate to distribute Pilger's new film in the US [View All]

It seems to me that DUers who are thinking carefully about the illegal immigration issue would like to be as well informed as possible. We are concerned about the consequences of illegal immigration from Latin America -- for many reasons.

There is an award-winning filmmaker who has made a documentary about how the US government (read, corporate interests) have interfered with democracy in Latin America -- with the result that millions of people have had to head North to survive.

John Pilger's new film "The War on Democracy" is NOT scheduled to be released here -- here, where we need the information the most as we try to solve the problem of illegal immigration. It's already out in the UK and in Australia. But, there are today NO PLANS to release it here.

Please sign my petition to get Lionsgate to release this film here.

This is the text of the petition:

To: Lionsgate Films

We, the undersigned, demand that the citizens of the United States be allowed to see John Pilger's new film, "The War on Democracy", a work which details the consequences of US interference in emerging democracies in Latin America.

Our nation is embroiled in a heated debate about illegal immigration. This film could inform that debate in a way that the corporate media never will.

Mr. Pilger's film must be made available to the American public. We ask that Lionsgate Films distribute this work in the United States.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned.

This is not a petition in favor of illegal immigration. This is a petition to a film distributor to make John Pilger's work available to the American public so they can see for themselves why there is such a large migration north and so they can come to their own conclusions.

Make it happen.
