Cinema Libre announced
this past week that Dec. 19 will be the DVD debut date for author, journalist and
documentary filmmaker Ric Osuna’s The UnAmerican Struggle.
The film had its premiere
at the San Antonio Film Festival in August of this year and is currently being
exhibited at regional screenings, including the Atlanta International
Documentary Film Festival, where it won the Best Political Documentary Award, and
it was the kick-off film presentation at the Camden Conference in Maine this
weekend.
Osuna examines racism,
misogyny, sexism and xenophobia in America through interviews with 17 experts
currently involved in issues related to inclusion and civil liberties. Among those participating in The
UnAmerican Struggle are Aisha Yaqoob, the Executive Director of the Georgia
Muslim Voter Project; Heidi Beirich, Director, The Intelligence Project, Southern
Poverty Law Center; Edward Ahmed Mitchell, Executive Director, Georgia Chapter,
Council on American-Islamic Relations; and Sir Maejor Page, President of
Greater Atlanta, Black Lives Matter.
Blended in with these
interview sessions is video footage from protests of President Donald Trump’s
victory, the Women’s March in January and the immigrant rally in February of
this year.
