We the People is a visual essay about the loss of democracy in the United States.  The film utilizes both original footage as well as found footage to describe a profound change in thinking at the grassroots level. The story unfolds through the eyes of rural people and sacrifice zones in urban communities who have faced decades of toxic dumps, drilling and mines in their communities.  We learn with them that the reason why, in spite of all their efforts, they \u201cget what they don\u2019t want, again and again,\u201d is because they are, by law, truly powerless in spite of propaganda that says they live in the \u201cbest democracy in the world.\u201d   These people come to understand that the reason they can\u2019t stop the destruction is that the US has become an oligarchy, run by the corporate few who ignore the rights and will of the people.  These people are frontally challenging our corporate state; thereby saving nature and themselves. Thomas Linzey, a nonprofit attorney\u2019s inspiring words shows how, we, the people, can turn this around and lay claim to our democracy. This movement is building as you read this, not just in this country but around the world; our film shows how and where it all began.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to find out how to see this film | http:\/\/www.wethepeople2.film Tree Media&#8217;s (http:\/\/www.treemedia.com) feature Documentary, We the People 2.0, about the work of CELDF (http:\/\/www.celdf.org) Directed by Leila Conners, Featuring Thomas Linzey, Narrated by Walton Goggins, Produced by Mathew Schmid.
