I received a press release for a movie I thought some of you would want to keep an eye out for. It\u2019s premiering at the San Antonio Film Festival on August 2, 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UnAmerican Struggle\u201d is a feature-length documentary that examines the resurgence of racism, misogyny, sexism, and xenophobia in America brought about by Donald Trump’s words and actions as a candidate, and now his policies as president.<\/p>\n

1366 Films, an Atlanta-based production company, is excited to announce that the San Antonio Film Festival will host the world premiere of \u201cThe UnAmerican Struggle\u201d on August 2nd. The city served as one of the film\u2019s prime locations, given its exemplary celebration held each January that pays homage to MLK\u2019s legacy of inclusion and civil rights.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThe UnAmerican Struggle\u201d speaks to the dangers of remaining silent in the face of state-inspired hate and threats to civil rights. Bigotry unchecked ushers in greater abuses to civil rights, as evident through the recent attacks on the free press, the cornerstone of American democracy. As such, the documentary provides a voice to groups affected by the intolerance and bigotry sweeping the nation like a cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UnAmerican Struggle\u201d pays close attention to the struggle for equality from the perspective of Immigrants, Latinos, Muslims, Blacks, Women, and Transgender People. Seventeen experts representing the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Diversity Council, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and local groups, such as Black Lives Matter, lent their voices in the film to help Americans better understand the fight to preserve America\u2019s values of inclusion and civil liberties.<\/em><\/p>\n

And you know I wouldn\u2019t share this with you if I didn\u2019t have a trailer:<\/p>\n
