Cannes Premiere Gets Standing Ovation

 

Aaron Russo’s AMERICA: FREEDOM TO FASCISM

 

To Open Across America July 28

 

CANNES, FRANCE †" Aaron Russo’s incendiary political

documentary which exposes many of the governmental organizations and

entities that have abridged the freedoms of U.S. citizens had its

international premiere at Cannes and won a standing ovation. The

event, which was held on the beach and filled to capacity, was open to

the public and drew a crowd of people who stood along the boardwalk to

watch the film.

 

Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, as well the former

IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents, tax attorneys and

authors, Russo proves conclusively that there is no law requiring

citizens to pay a direct tax on their labor. His film connects the

dots between money creation, federal income tax, voter fraud, the

national identity card (which becomes law in May 2008) and the

implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to

track citizens. Neither left nor right-wing in perspective, the film

concludes that the U.S. government is taking on the characteristics of

a police state. Doc will open on multiple screens in cities across the

U.S. beginning July 28.

 

The international audience at Cannes as well as the European

media has been fascinated by Russo’s fiery diatribe against the

direction America is heading. The discussion that followed the preview

lasted for thirty minutes. Actor Nick Nolte, in Cannes for the

premiere of “Over The Hedge,†joined Russo during the event.

“The information in this film is something everybody has to knowâ€,

said Nolte, who was the lead actor in “Teachers,†a film produced

by Russo.

 

Russo, who is best known as the producer of feature films

including “The Rose†with Bette Midler and “Trading Placesâ€

with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, wrote, produced, and directed the

doc. “I am disgusted by the direction America was heading,†says

Russo. “I made this movie because I want to live in a free country

and I want my kids and grandkids to live in a free country. The

American people must abandon the myth that America is still the land

of liberty that it once was.â€

 

Russo’s doc already has a tremendous grass root groundswell

behind it. The film has previewed in over twenty-five cities with sold

out theatres and standing ovations. The website,

http://www.freedomtofascism.com has been had over five hundred

thousand (500,000) streams of the video trailer. Additionally, through

the website and from grassroots screenings, over $100,000 in

non-deductible donations has been collected to help with the

theatrical release.
