Mental-Rev Productions - Activism Through Documentary Film

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.”

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. A personal document of the opinions of a cross section of the millions of people who protested against, or in support of, the War on Iraq. Filmed with a first person shooting style that places the audience right in the middle of both the U.S. Anti-War Movement and the experience of the Director

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