American Socialist: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs narrated by Amy Madigan (the anti-Trumpism film of 2018 for all political activists) screens: Please help spread the word.
I worked on this film for 6 years and now I need your help to send it to people you know in these cities (listed below) as well as send me your suggestions of where we can screen this film near you. The film should be screened at union halls, universities, political action groups/organizations, libraries, museums, houses of worship – wherever progressive activists want to see the film. A trailer can be seen on our Facebook page and on Youtube.com – both under the title of the film.
The film features a number of San Diego voice actors (Steve Gunderson, Sam Woodhouse, Nick Cagel, David Drexler, Eliza Jane Schneider, Debbie Davis, etc.) as well as an original soundtrack of American folk music performed by Fred Benedetti, Jeff Pekarek, Walt Richards, Elizabeth Schwartz, the Hausmann String Quartet and special guest fiddler Jeremy Kittel.
Director/Writer/Producer Yale Strom, Editor/Co-Producer Luke Jungers & Ex. Producer/Writer Elizabeth Schwartz will be in attendance at both screenings:
Soundtrack of American roots music: Fred Benedetti-guitar, Walt Richards-mandolin, Jeff Pekarek-bass and Jeremy Kittel-violin.
