Documentary Description
The United States has refused to abide by the Geneva Conventions.
They are the rules of war that were developed after World War II.
Basically what they say is when you capture people during a war, you
have to treat them humanely. You have to give them medical assistance.
You have to, first of all, decide who they are. They get this left to
this tribunal that decides: Are you a prisoner of war? Are you a
civilian? Do you have nothing to do with this war whatsoever?
Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties, is the third in a
series of Public Interest Pictures films that follows Unprecedented:
The 2000 Presidential Election and Uncovered: The War on Iraq. True to
their legacy, Unconstitutional provides the facts and stories that
illuminate administration lies, wrongheaded policies, and the real
victims of these actions – the American people.
Here, you’ll get the real story behind the USA PATRIOT Act and other
administration policies and the gut wrenching stories behind those
affected-from law-abiding store clerks to United States Olympians
unable to travel. It’ll remind you of what America used to stand for
and what it seems we’re falling for now. In short, this one-hour film
will affirm why you’re angry and give you a tool to help others join
your ranks.
