About this movie

Academy Award nominated actor James Cromwell (L.A. Confidential, Green Mile) and Anthony Lopresti (Academy Award winning The Lady in Number 6) brings Janek Ambros' first feature film, 'Imminent Threat.' From the Authorization to Use Military Force passed by Congress immediately after 9/11 to the 2014 NSA revelations from Edward Snowden,the documentary looks at the violations of our civil liberties and gradual deterioration of political discourse. Interviewees cross party lines and include members of the U.S. Congress, Code Pink, A.C.L.U. and the Cato Institute which points out this is not a left/right issue; no political ideology is impervious to political oppression. The film is done in an experimental/avant garde style editing and sound design in an attempt to break out of standard documentary conventions.
