Hi all! I'm Georgia the writer/director of the documentary film and I'm here in case you all need me to answer anything.

I agree with you and we made this film about it - been trying very hard to get the word out via social media and traditional channels but even tech heads seem to not worry enough. please check us out - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/barbershoppunk/barbershop-punk-protect-your-freedom-of-speech

I think that some basic rules of the road, are extremely necessary -- we are losing many roads of distribution for communication -- new thought. Look at what has happened to radio. And cable, it's very scary. Not like I have a bunch of offers chomping at the bit to broadcast this film in spite of very solid public reception and positive critical reviews. I want to be sure there is some protection against contest discrimination be it news, films, music or otherwise legal communications and business is not going to give that to me. Too much dough at stake.

We just were offered a one week run in Brooklyn at the ReRun and we will be in Tucson in October and in and around Atlanta in Feb.

I'm just going to jump in here as I think this question is the tip of the IceBerg. Simply put, it is my belief that we need to try to rally enough public support to get some very basic rules of the road insuring open communication and delivery rights here in the United States where many of the original models of infrastructure are rooted. Robb is very familiar with the dangers of "Deep Packet" inspection, which is some of the technology discussed within the film and also came into strong play with communication shut down in Egypt. This is actually a very serious global issue. Not so oddly we have been invited to screen at many human rights festivals. Thanks for bringing that up.
