PALAST FILM PREMIERES ... JOIN DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA AFFILIATES OPENING THE FILM THAT BURNT BUSH

September 7, 2004

Join affiliate members of Howard Dean's Democracy For America in pre-release
screenings of the blistering 70-minute documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes:
The Best Democracy Money Can Buy". Beginning this week, DFA's affiliates will
show the film woven from Palast's original award-winning investigative
reports for BBC television.

The Philadelphia Weekly had this to say of the film's underground premier at
Philadelphia's Lost Film Fest:

"Greg Palast's Bush Family Fortunes appears to be the big find, being that
Fahrenheit 9/11 was inspired by its fevered take-down of the seated president."

"Stunning ... disturbing ... important."
- Sen. John Edwards

"Courageous reporting."
- Michael Moore

2. I ordered my copy!
THESE are the documentaries that NEED to be on network TV! ALL of them. "Bush Family Fortunes", "Unprecedented", "Iraq:Uncovered", "Bush's Brain", "OUTFOXED" and "F911". SHOW THEM ON NETWORK TV! THESE are the things our idiotic sheeple don't know. I really wish someone would have the guts to air them. :(

"Orwell Rolls In His Grave" That one is pretty disturbing.

8. It starts a little slow
and isn't as flashy as "Outfoxed" but a little way into it, everyone in the auditorium was sitting on the edge of their seats. It takes on the entire media and their failures.
