As 2007 comes to a close, Bristol Indy media film night presents
the official Sundance selected 'This Revolution'. In 1969 Academy
Award winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler exploded the
boundaries of American cinema with Medium Cool, a film set against
the backdrop of the 1968 democratic national convention. Thirty
years later, as anti-Bush activists and the New York police force
prepared for their encounter on the streets outside the 2004
Republican National Convention, director Stephen Marshall took his
cast and crew, including stars Rosario Dawson and Nathan Crooker,
into the chaos.

The story follows Jake Cassevetes (Nathan Crooker), a network
embedded journalist just back from Iraq who is assigned to cover
the run-up to the RNC. When he meets and falls in love with Tina
Santiago (Rosario Dawson), a young mother widowed after her husband
was killed in Iraq, Jake is forced to question his world view. But
it is not until he discovers his network has given his videotape of
an anarchist Black Bloc group to Homeland Security that Jake
decides to take action.
