The first time I saw the trailer for Barbara Kopple's documentrary "Shut Up and Sing", I got a chill.
Check out the moving trailer here.
The tagline of the movie is:
Freedom of Speech is fine as long as you don't do it in public.
Everytime I feel sad or hopeless, I open up the saved file in my computer, and watch the trailer again.
We are at a country where freedom of speech gets your throat slit (Humayun Azad) or gets you exiled (Taslima). It's comforting to know that even in the land of the free, it costs a lot to retain independence of mind and spirit.
