MINNEAPOLIS - On Tuesday, October 28, Glass Bead Collective, Twin Cities
Indymedia, and other independent media activists will release a new film,
"Terrorizing Dissent: Election Cut," an exposé of events at the 2008
Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras
on the streets, "Terrorizing Dissent" focuses on the story of dissent
suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of
terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media
coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as
terrorism.

The documentary consists of four provocative sections:

September 1st: The Battle of St Paul
September 2nd: The Gassing in St Paul
September 3rd: Terrorizing Dissent
September 4th: The Bombing of the Peace March

Cut from hundreds of hours of donated footage, "Terrorizing Dissent:
Election Cut" will be released for free on the Internet in HD, FLV and
Quicktime formats, under the Creative Commons / CopyLeft license, and its
producers encourage everyone to share this important film.

Free screenings of the film will be offered in both Minneapolis, MN and
Oakland, CA:

Sunday, November 2nd:
* Arise! Bookstore (2441 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN) at 7 pm.

Monday, November 3rd:
* Arise! Bookstore (2441 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN) at 7 pm. * AK
Press (674-A 23rd Street, Oakland, CA) at 8 pm.

Another Minneapolis-area screening on Thursday, October 30th is also being
scheduled.

international Indymedia network, a collective of independent media
organizations and hundreds of journalists offering grassroots,
non-corporate coverage. Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the

Republican National Convention with news and media straight from the
streets. As an entirely volunteer-run organization, the Tech Collective
handles the Web platform, and the passionate observers of the Editorial
Collective write stories and fend off spam. TC Indymedia plans to organize
a new video project collective as an extension of the work behind
producing "Terrorizing Dissent."
