Russo's 'Freedom To Fascism'
Big Success At Cannes
Film's Premiere Gets Standing Ovation
To Open Across America July 28
5-26-6
CANNES, FRANCE =AD 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 know", 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 Places" 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."
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,
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.
