Videos are up!

Due to our desire to get our film to the widest audience possible, we have taken advantage of blip.tv's free video hosting service and have created an internet version of the film which anyone can watch. For the purposes of internet broadcast, we have broken the 45 minute film into six sections, according to the chapters in the film. Though not available at full resolution or with the accompanying montages that link the sections together, these six interviews make up the bulk of the film.

Here is the link to our blip.tv page: I Cannot Be Silent. The image at the top of the right column is also a shortcut to the same page.

If you are an educator who would like to utilize either the DVD or internet versions of the film, we would love to accommodate you. Please let the filmmaker know:

Enjoy!
