Beyond the Patriot Act
As the House and Senate versions of the Patriot Act go to conference to create a final bill to be presented to the President, Beyond The Patriot Act highlights the importance of this legislation and urges members of Congress to take the time to act sensibly and bring the law back in line with the Constitution by restoring proper checks and balances.
The Freedom Files
The Freedom Files is a 10-part multimedia series that goes behind the headlines to reveal the impact of civil liberties violations on real people’s daily lives. Created by the ACLU and award-winning filmmaker Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films, the series is produced and directed by Jeremy Kagan.
Series topics will include the Patriot Act, the Supreme Court, free speech and dissent, religious freedom, gay and lesbian rights, drug policy, racial profiling, women's rights, and youth freedoms.
