Unconstitutional:

The War On Our Civil Liberties

Tuesday, 08 Feb 2005 at 8:00 pm – Gallery, Memorial Union

Unconstitutional investigates the impact of the Patriot Act on the civil liberties of American citizens and immigrants. It is also the only movie to ever be endorsed by the ACLU. Director De la Peña has four feature length documentaries to her credit, including the critically acclaimed The Jaundiced Eye, and was part of the team that created HBO's Death on the Job, which was nominated for an Academy Award.

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.

Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.

Lecture Etiquette

  • Stay for the entire lecture and the brief audience Q&A. If a student needs to leave early, he or she should sit near the back and exit discreetly.
  • Do not bring food or uncovered drinks into the lecture.
  • Check with Lectures staff before taking photographs or recording any portion of the event. There are often restrictions. Cell phones, tablets and laptops may be used to take notes or for class assignments.
  • Keep questions or comments brief and concise to allow as many as possible.
