I've only had time to read some of the posts here. This doesn't make any sense to me. There are thousands of documentaries that have been made with themes focusing on an Americam police state, FEMA, etc. Have they gone after those filmmakers as well?
Would be curious to look up films on IMDB to see how many dramas about an American police state storyline, have actually been produced.
If you think in terms of propaganda, the powers that be like to keep us living in fear, so I would think they wouldn't have a problem with
these types of films - the goal being to always keep the public in line & fearful that martial law could become a reality.
Was the theme of this particular drama advocating revolution? THAT may have been the deal breaker - that and the fact that 30 million was secured to make it more realistic looking as opposed to a typical small indie film with cheaper production values.
Another question - how was he able to secure $30 million?? That's pretty impressive considering indie filmmakers have a difficult enough time raising even $10,000 . Was it through donations alone or did he borrow it and from who?
Also, what did he do in the military? Was he was in army intelligence? Did he have access to anything classified and maybe they were also fearful of him writing about it in the film? So many unanswered questions. Very sad.
