Go Here for Our Review of ‘The End of America‘
Progressive movie star and author of recent book that warns Americans of fascist shift, talk politics
By Karina Longworth / Spout Blog / October 20, 2008
Before the Hamptons Film Festival this weekend, I wrote a post about The End of America, a documentary based on Naomi Wolf’s book of the same name, which I was interested in not least because of its unusual distribution strategy: it will premiere on SnagFilms (October 21), before debuting theatrically in New York in December before becoming available on DVD in January. I’ll have a more review-y take on the film tomorrow. The screening did start late, because there was an accident on the highway between Manhattan and East Hampton, and the master tape was stuck in traffic with co-director Annie Sundberg. Most of those in attendance seemed to get some value out the improvised program which preceded the movie, in which Alec Baldwin moderated a conversation about The End of America’s themes with Wolf, co-director Ricki Stern, and ACLU rep Jameel Jaffer. I was there, and I recorded the bulk of the conversation and had it transcribed. That transcript, edited for clarity, appears on Spout blog.

I originally wrote: “I went to the website that Wolf cited, MyAmericanProject.org, and for whatever reason, it’s a joke, and not a genuine progressive site. I’m not certain what happened. Anyone else? Dougbob, Patty, OB Joe?” and Dennis wrote in and corrected it to MyAmericaProject.org
I believe what Ms. Wolf meant to say was MyAmericaProject.org.
Dennis – you’re absolutely right. I’ve gone to the text and have corrected it there. Thanks again.
So, the correct site is myamericaproject.org – check it out.
