REVIEWS:
IMDB Review:
Well, the title as it is, I saw the film "America: From Freedom
to Fascism" tonight in Tucson, Arizona. From the moment it begins
it is gripping, informative and down right scary! The viewer comes away
with an understanding that as good as we might be in our day to day lives,
we are all targets of a runaway government, intent on exerting it’s
power and expressing it’s will – despite the law.
Particularly chilling is the interview with a Virginia Beach, VA family
whose homes and business were raided by the IRS on mere unsubstantiated
accusations; the victims of Police State authoritarians. Another interview
with a former IRS Commissioner who, now a high-powered D.C. attorney,
can’t seem to make the connection between Supreme Court decisions
on the Constitutionality of the Income Tax and how the IRS regards ‘voluntary
compliance’ with a law he’s unable to articulate. Flustered,
the commissioner ends the interview abruptly and asks Russo to leave.
Russo is a bulldog as he prowls halls of government trying to get someone
to just show him the Law that says a working citizen in the United States
owes an Income Tax, or just to acknowledge prior Supreme Court rulings
on the subject. Clips of press conferences and television interviews and
news cuttings reveal obfuscation, saber rattling and threats but not one
answer that clearly defines the Law, the statutes or the Tax obligations
of American citizens.
Aaron Russo has created a compelling and troubling documentary that indeed
gives the impression that America has already moved from Freedom to Fascism
(and defines the terms so the viewer can decide for themselves).
The film is in the final stages of post-production and upon completion
will be entered at Cannes in May. It is sure to make the headlines there
and open more than a few eyes. This film will make an impact on the viewer
– It’s up to the viewer to then make an impact on the state
of affairs in American government.

America: From Freedom to Fascism. Watch for it.
by Mark Yannone
January 28, 2006
I went to see the prescreening of Aaron Russo's latest movie, America:
From Freedom to Fascism, at the Hilton Phoenix Airport last night. It
was a powerful and engaging film that received a well-deserved standing
ovation from the group of about 120 adults in attendance, most of who
were over 30.
The two major topics were the federal income tax and the Federal Reserve.
Minor topics were the New World Order, vote fraud, education, government
lies, and the police state. The ending contained a call to action that
Russo promised will be significantly enhanced in the final edition.
A couple of members of the audience mentioned in the subsequent Q&A
session that they were not aware of most of what was presented. An Arizona
State University teacher said her students were largely unaware also.
Bottom line: Aaron Russo has earned his place in the preferred section
of Heaven with this film, and the nation owes him a large debt of gratitude
for having produced it. Eliciting cheers and tears from the audience,
"America: From Freedom to Fascism is so moving and effective
that I wouldn't be surprised to read that ... all copies of the movie
have mysteriously vanished."
Missing this movie will be a costly mistake. Watch for it in your Area
NOW.
