Doc/Fest - Sheffield

Naomi Wolf's book, The End of America, details in frighteningly accurate terms how a country slides toward fascism. It’s not a “lefty” tome, rather a historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history that are being repeated in America today. What better time to turn a book as urgent as this into a documentary. The average American might not be alarmed at AT&T selling private information to the Bush administration, but when America is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear. Directed by award winning documentary team, Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg, this is a must-see for fans of the writer and for those with concerns about the future of a superpower.
