Description by OLDIES.com:
Zinn succeeded exceptionally, and now this phenomenal compilation has been set to stage. This DVD features Zinn and co-editor Anthony Arnove introducing the historical context of various excerpts of Voices. Seven most accomplished actors help bring to life a symphony of our nation's original voices, rich in ideas and actions, the embodiment of the power of civil disobedience and dissent wherein lies our nation's true spirit of defiance and resilience.
This groundbreaking DVD includes writer/producer John Sayles reading the journal entries of Bartolome de las Casas upon the conquistadors' encounter with America's first peoples in 1542; actor Brian Jones as Frederick Douglass confronting the New England Convention on the hypocrisy of celebrating Independence Day in 1849 amidst institutionalized slavery; and popular actor/director Lily Taylor as Emma Goldman, icon of American anarchism and feminism, performing her scathing critique of blind and ignorant patriotism at the outbreak of the First World War.
