REBEL EVOLUTION (advance copy) Thought-provoking new film by AnnaZ w/ Brandon Darby, BILL AYERS (!)
From www.rebelevolution.org:
Brandon Michael Darby(excerpted from a 2010 article by Matthew Vadum)You've probably never heard of Brandon Darby.
The former community organizer who saved American lives by undermining a left-wing terrorist plot at the 2008 Republican convention used to be a proud member of the radical left.
He called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. He hated cops. He consorted with eco-terrorist tree-spikers, radical feminists and black nationalists. He was approached to rob an armored car and asked to commit arson to fight gentrification. He mouthed politically correct slogans about the Bush administration. Government didn't care about people, and he thought the botched response to Katrina proved it.
When he learned people were suffering in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, he moved there, defying police orders not to enter the stricken city. With $50 he co-founded Common Ground Relief in the home of a former Black Panther. Despite many obstacles, Common Ground alleviated some suffering in the devastated city, especially the hard-hit Ninth Ward. The group gutted flood-damaged houses and provided free health care and meals. In its first three years it accommodated 22,000 volunteers.
Gradually Darby began to question his political beliefs. After initially having rocky relations with the New Orleans police, he came to realize that they were all on the same side because they wanted to help people.
"Everybody else [in Common Ground] remained with this protest, 'fight the power' deal but I started developing relationships with people in the power structure in the city and in different levels of government so my ideas started to really change," he told "This American Life." "I was, 'Why are we wearing masks and protesting? I mean we should go meet with them. I have the mayor's cell phone number. I eat dinner with their families. Why are we acting this way?'"
After years of in-your-face protests and confrontational tactics, Darby rejected the radical left and its culture of political violence. He came to realize that America, for all its faults, wasn't such a bad place after all.

From www.rebelevolution.org:
William "Bill" AyersWhen I told Mr. Ayers upon our meeting that I had read his wikipedia page as prep work for our interview, he just laughed. But here it is.
The former Weather Underground leader-slash-"domestic terrorist" gave us his time and his reflections on an almost half-century of trying to change the world.
I watched the trailer. Still have no idea what this movie is about.
From www.rebelevolution.org:
Ted HayesA Los Angeles activist for the homeless for years, among a host of other projects, Ted has gone from being a bodyguard for Black Panther leader H. Rap Brown, to being a passionate patriot and advocate for self-improvement in his community.
Here's his wiki... he's a treat.
With us, he discusses his passions, his turnaround, and his dreams of racial reconciliation for America.

Great video. Just sent it to those I know can learn from it and who just might watch it. Thanks for sharing.
Just started watching Ron. Will have to finish later, hope it will stay up. It’s FANTASTIC so far. Thank YOU for the ping.
Very good. Take the time to watch this, it is very informative and easy to watch and understand.
Outstanding video, thanks for the great post.
"Because people think we disagree, but we don't."
He looked like a nice guy in the interview.
I liked the fact that Anna interviews that one guy with no shoes on.
Couldn't figure out who that was though.
One of the best 80 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. Thanks for this Anna!
Lucifer is not MY leader!
When I saw the list of folks you were interviewing for this, my first thought was “Shoot! Another f’n waste of time!” But I (bravely) turned it on, and had to break in here and tell you that the one comment from H. Rap Brown at 0:39.1 is worth the whole thing. That it still goes on today by those same folks in the same place in the same way is an absolute failure of our civilization.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, AnnaZ!
Thank you, RonDog, for posting this and the links.
