Hi Declan --

Thanks again for your time yesterday; It was really helpful talking with you.

A brief write-up on the project follows.  It would be great if you could 
forward this to people on your email list.

Take care,

Jen

For a documentary film about the threat to civil liberties post Sept 11th
(with the advent of the USA Patriot Act etc.)  we are seeking stories about:

People (preferably students, preferably in the DC or SF Bay Areas) who who 
have been directly affected by the "New McCarthyism."  Specifically, we are 
looking for people who have been affected by technology 
surveillance...someone who may have experienced serious repercussions for 
going to a given web site or expressing a certain view on line.

We are also looking for a college student (or recent grad) who might be 
willing and able to speak more generally about the new threats to on-line 
privacy post-Sept. 11th.

We would, of course, also welcome stories about people otherwise affected 
by the USA Patriot Act...but the technology issues are our priority focus 
at the moment.

By way of some background info ... my colleague Vivian Kleiman and I are 
independent filmmakers based in Berkeley, California. We have been asked to 
produce a short (20-minute) film for an organization in Washington DC 
called the Alliance for Justice (www.afj.org). The piece will screen mostly 
on college campus; the goal being to raise awareness and activism among 
students around these issues.

If you have story ideas, please contact me at: jenpetrucelli () earthlink net

Thank you!

Jen
