This movie began when it seemed like the world might end. Just Say It: a Revolution in the Making tells the story of two novice filmmakers in pursuit of artistic beauty at a time when politics is turning ugly. Jennifer Gilomen and Jessica Dorfman, both new to the Bay Area, meet each other shortly after September 11th, 2001. While their government responds to the tragedies with increasing offense, they find solace in the creativity they discover in basements, clubs, and streets all around them. The artists they meet become their road map through the second Iraq war, the search for funding and resources, and the trials and tribulations of trying to become an artist. Interwoven with poetry, music, and voices rising, this story of art and politics explores the attempt to say what you mean in a time when it seems hard to say anything at all.
