Wanted to point out that Russel Simmons is being used as an icon ..the People are the ones pushing this campaign..please remember to keep that upfront and any proceeds from Lockdown USA should be giving back to the community to continue on with their greasroots organizing efforrt..there are no lone soldiers in this movement
Of course Russell is an icon and a figurehead for this movement and his ability to reach a huge contingency is paramount in gaining the press needed for change of this type. If you watch the trailer and the film you'll see that the filmmakers take the time to cover the grassroots work done to make a "Rockerfeller Drug Law's" free NY a reality.
Also, proceeds from the DVD sales are being donated to the DPA (Drug Policy Alliance) who was a partner on this film.
