The first amendment of the United States Constitution clearly states that Congress will make no law "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press," but the fact that the Bill of Rights protects free speech doesn't mean that everyone likes it. Expressing controversial or unpopular opinions has sometimes caused people to be silenced by others, and in the wake of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, some Americans have found that speech isn't always as free as they'd imagine. Shouting Fire, a riveting exploration of the current state of free speech in America is crucially relevant. Interweaving historical cases-The New York Times' fight to publish the Pentagon Papers and the Nazis' insistence on marching in Skokie, IL. among them-with contemporary free-speech battles, the film documents the way both the Right and the Left have lashed out in fear. We think of First Amendment rights as inviolable; but in fact, they're profoundly vulnerable. Prominent First Amendment attorney--and the filmmaker's father-Martin Garbus, leads us through this perilous landscape and wisely warns, if we don't fight for our freedoms every day, we will lose them.

Maybe if you watched the whole thing, you would see them DEFENDING free speech in the second part. It is amazing how ignorant people are...

Yeees, yeees... when palestinians r tryin to defend themnselves with stones and wood sticks against israelian lead rains, these motherfuckers call it ENTIFADA! But when jews kill women and children on palestinian land, they just DEFEND themselves??? WHO IS THE REAL TERRORIST here?

I didnt watch this video any further than part 2. It talks abt freedom of speech but its underlining message is we dont want freedom of speech. Pathetic! There is so many things wrong w/ this video that i dont even have enough space to write them all! but in short, its biased and deceptive. Noow on to something else
