MINNEAPOLIS - On Tuesday, October 28, independent media activists from Glass Bead Collective, Twin Cities Indymedia, Indybay, and other groups will release a new film, "Terrorizing Dissent: Election Cut," an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, "Terrorizing Dissent" focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.

The documentary consists of four provocative sections:

September 1st: The Battle of St Paul
September 2nd: The Gassing in St Paul
September 3rd: Terrorizing Dissent
September 4th: The Bombing of the Peace March

Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent: Election Cut" will be released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its producers encourage everyone to share this important film.


The first screenings of the film will be offered in both Minneapolis, MN and Oakland, CA as benefits for legal support:

Sunday, November 2nd:
* Arise! Bookstore (2441 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN) at 7 pm.

Monday, November 3rd:
* Arise! Bookstore (2441 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN) at 7 pm.
* AK Press (674 23rd Street, Oakland, CA) at 8 pm.

Another Minneapolis-area screening on Thursday, October 30th is also being scheduled.
