Legalize Democracy is a short documentary that aims to help reclaim democracy from modern day corporate rule. The film provides a clear history lesson in Supreme Court decisions through the years that have influenced the interpretation of the Bill of Rights to apply to corporations as well as people. It explains the grassroots movement known as Move to Amend which seeks to amend the US Constitution so that corporations do not have the rights of persons protected by the Bill of Rights.
The film was produced by Move to Amend, directed by Dennis Trainor, Jr., and financed entirely by grassroots donations. Legalize Democracy is both entertaining and informational. It leads you through the paths and constant struggles of maintaining our rights. Most importantly it does so using an approach that grabs the attention. It states in no uncertain terms why this movement is necessary. Whether you are a political being or an apolitical being, you will learn from this documentary.
John Debus of the Treasure Coast Progressive Alliance will facilitate the discussion following the film. The Fellowship’s Fair Trade Corner will be open ½ hour prior to the film. There is no charge, but donations are always gratefully accepted.
