ABOUT THE TOUR

THE PEOPLE SPEAK COLLEGE TOUR is a national campus tour for the forthcoming documentary film THE PEOPLE SPEAK (http://www.thepeoplespeak.com) and will bring the film’s producers and cast members to eight universities across the country.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK LIVE @ SFSU features cast members LUPE FIASCO and RICH ROBINSON of The Black Crowes with co-director and executive producer ANTHONY ARNOVE, for live performance, film excerpts, and in-depth audience discussion.

ABOUT THE PEOPLE SPEAK

Using dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans, the documentary feature film THE PEOPLE SPEAK gives voice to those who spoke up for social change throughout U.S. history, forging a nation from the bottom up with their insistence on equality and justice.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK premieres on HISTORY on December 13 at 8PM.

Narrated by acclaimed historian Howard Zinn and based on his best-selling books, A People’s History of the United States and, with Anthony Arnove, Voices of a People’s History, THE PEOPLE SPEAK illustrates the relevance of these passionate historical moments to our society today and reminds us never to take liberty for granted.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK is produced by Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Chris Moore, Anthony Arnove, and Howard Zinn, co-directed by Moore, Arnove and Zinn, and features and dramatic and musical performances by Brolin, Damon, Rosario Dawson, Bob Dylan, Michael Ealy, Lupe Fiasco, Morgan Freeman, Jasmine Guy, John Legend, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Sandra Oh, Viggo Mortensen, Bruce Springsteen, Marisa Tomei, Kerry Washington, and many others.
