"“Documentaries are like an alternative channel to present perspectives that may not be offered by the mainstream media...Rediscovering civil disobedience is something I really hope will come out of the film."—Peter Glenn, directorFilmmaker Magazine: In Focus: the Political Aesthetic (Summer 2005)

"We started shooting in November 2004 with no outside financing since between us we had all the gear we needed, including Canon XL2 and Panasonic DVX100 cameras...We were able to continue guerrilla-style and get interviews with celebrities, politicians and social justice leaders because they share our passion for preserving our right to dissent and First Amendment rights."—Tim GlennFilmmaker Magazine: In Focus: the Political Aesthetic (Summer 2005)
