Shouting Fire: Stories From the Edge of Free Speech

I wish all US citizens have a chance to watch this important documentary. Now more than ever, our First Amendment rights are in jeopardy. Scarier still is the announcement that Judge Kennedy is retiring. If trump is allowed to make an appointment before the 2018 elections, kiss your freedoms goodbye for the next quarter to half century. I grieve for my grandchildren.

One of the few shows I've found on the First Amendment. Great for use in class or for any scholars of the First Amendment.

It was much more balanced than I expected it to be.

Good information

Very one sided as usual. I was hoping for some balance. Supposedly neutral documentary, when in fact is another attempt to undermine the principles that established this great country.

I have watched this HBO documentary on free speech twice and plan to buy it when the price comes down. Like many other recent HBO documentaries, this one covers a very important subject and does so in a serious and thought-provoking manner.While it is obvious that the director is in favor of free speech, ample time is given to various people who argue that it ought to be limited, especially in time of war.Good coverage is given to cases from the days of President John Adams to the days of President George W. Bush, providing an excellent historical context.As a retired college teacher, I would recommend that teachers of American history, political science, philosophy, law, and civics might wish to buy this (or have their schools buy it) to show in their classes. It is a topic that should concern all young people, since they have the most to gain or lose in the coming decades.
