We are dedicated to the production of edgy, visceral documentary that challenges American indoctrination and motivates people into action. As thinking human beings we are not enamored with the myth of objectivity. Rather we witness, and interpret, and above all strive to remain honest in our analysis.  Video is our tool of choice in the fight for radical social change, Power to the People.

“In this long war, with the camera as our rifle, e do in fact move into a guerrilla activity.”

Produced by Mental-Rev Productions

In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, this country saw the mobilization of one of the largest Anti-War Movements in our nation’s history.  Here and around the world hundreds-of-thousands of people poured into the streets demanding the U.S. not attack Iraq.  This public outcry against the war coalesced in the largest day of international protest in world history, February 15, 2003.  The message was clear “Do not attack Iraq.”

President George W. Bush dismissed these massive protests as being merely a "focus group.”

Witness a Peace Movement

Witness a Peace Movement was shot over a two year period during the birth, and formative years of the revitalized Anti-War Movement. Shot almost entirely outdoors. this film exclusively features interviews with people on the streets, from those protesting the War on Iraq to Counter-Protesters in support of Bush's War.

This is not live footage of an Anti-War Rally. This Documentary is a visually stimulating and powerful film, edited from hundreds of hours of video shot during Direct Actions to End the War.

“Hill captures the drama, intense emotions, and intellectual fervor that he encountered while at rallies against U.S. military aggression in Iraq.” - Athens Insider

*Tazers & Lies is the first installment of Witness a Peace Movement Volume 2. After much reflection I've decided to keep this project going until every U.S. Soldier is out of Iraq and Reperations are flowing to the Iraqi People for the great injustice done to them.
