The Controversy Over Citizens United, The Movie
Dear Friends and Activists,
It already looks like Citizens United, The Movie, is shaping up to be one seriously controversial film, and all we've done so far is start to send the advance DVDs out to our initial supporters.
If you have seen the movie already, the whole movie, we'd love to hear from you. Otherwise, if you are curious about what the fuss is all about, there is still time for you to request your own review copy.

But we can only do this until we get our first film festival acceptance, which could happen any time.
We promised you an almost unprecedented production, and we believe we delivered. Citizens United, The Movie, is an expansive narrative story, bringing in many references to issues we care about (gay lifestyles, veganism, war crimes, etc.) as progressive policy activists, but ultimately about the necessity of amending the constitution now, and the irresistable power of citizen activism.
Since this is not a documentary, like the other movies progressives are supposed to make, we need to tell a story. There must be good "guys" (in this case actually mostly good gals) and bad guys. We need to have characters experience trials and be in jeopardy, and show the badness of the bad guys (not always a pretty picture). But when you watch the movie to the end, you will see how all the pieces of this initiative come together. People are saying the ending of the movie in particular is one of the most inspirational scenes ever filmed.
The French translation of the entire script is done and the submission to the Cannes Film Festival is already in consideration.
For any French language buffs out there, here is the closing line of the film, expressing certainty that when the people really come together for a political cause, we cannot be defeated.
"Il y a une chose dont je suis certain . . . il n'y a rien qui ne peut pas etre fait . . Si seulement les citoyens sont vraiment unis."
With that spirit, we present Citizens United, The Movie. If you want a version with the French subtitles, we'll burn one for you custom.
Otherwise everyone gets the regular advance DVD we already have in hand.

... and I hate to recommend this, but I'd be willing to bet that it's available as a torrent. 
Take that as you may.
I won't use that, but I appreciate the response.
