Witness a Peace Movement
A Documentary from the streets of the U.S. Anti-War Movement. Volume 1 (2003 - 2005)

(45 minutes. 2006) Directed by Roger Hill
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 “a focus group.” This Documentary goes inside the domestic Peace Movement to hear what people have to say about the War on Iraq…In their own words. 

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

On April 25, 2004, over 1.15 million men and women from 50 states and over 60 countries gathered on The Mall for the largest march in DC history.  The marchers’ concerns included choice, justice, access, health care, abortion, family planning, and the respect for global human rights. 

This film features interviews with a variety of people attending the march, including pro-choice and anti-abortion activists.
While conservative forces have galvanized around the evangelical Christian and anti-abortion agenda, a large, diverse and progressive women’s movement has grown in opposition.  This “Third Wave” marks a new generation of women’s advocacy and organizing in the United States, which addresses issues of sexuality, cultural diversity, human rights, and social and economic concerns.  The Third Wave documents the diverse voices and concerns of the contemporary U.S. women’s movement and the ongoing opposition to women’s rights in the new millennium.

Fascists Trade Away Americas
"A Firsthand account of a city under siege"
(20 minutes. 2004)
Directed by Roger Hill
Produced by Mental-Rev Productions

Review by Troy Gregorino from the Athens Insider, Wednesday March 3, 2004:

Independent filmmaker, Roger Hill, admits to being nervous while capturing close-up scenes of activists being clubbed, pepper-sprayed and pelted with rubber bullets. Hill’s most recent project “Fascists are Trading Away America” (FTAA), takes the viewer within inches of violent police repression during Miami’s mass demonstration last November in opposition to the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas. Miami the proposed permanent FTAA secretariat, hosted the pivotal eighth ministerial meeting, intended to finalize plans to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement to include Central American, South American and the Caribbean. The FTAA has been cited by numerous economic experts and activists as a form of free-trade fundamentalism that will undermine democracy, labor rights and environmental protection.
