Eyes on the Prize 是 PBS 一系列关于美国民权运动的纪录片，直到现在都是民权运动重要的教材 　　由于纪录片中包含各式各样的新闻片段、照片、歌曲和歌词，在著作权法的规范下，纪录片的使用受到了各种复杂而多样的限制 　　1995 年，制片公司 Blackside 所取得的授权年限截止，并因财力问题无力负担 renew 授权的费用，自此这些记录片便无法再向公众播送或发行 　　先前针对这个情况，一位重要的民权运动者 Lawrence Guyot 对华盛顿邮报表示，这就像是阻止大家流通有关马丁路德金恩、麦尔坎 X、美国建国基础的书籍，我号召所有能取得这个片子的人公开地违反所有跟这部片子播放有关的法令。 　　Downhill Battle 这个组织认为这些community screening 并不是 civil disobedience ，而是在著作权法下合理使用的范围，尤其是非但如此，公众便无法观赏到这部具有重要历史意义的影片。而民权运动的历史的重要性，更是不容这部纪录片成为著作权法的禁脔。 　　Downhill Battle 于是举办Eyes On the Screen 的活动，号召大家在 2/8 这一天在各地自家学校或任何地方举办大小型 screening，播放 Eyes on the Prize

The film features 85-year-old Mr. Armstrong, an African American barber in Birmingham, Alabama, as he experiences the manifestation of an unimaginable dream: the election of the first African American president. This colorful and courageous activist of the Civil Rights era casts his vote, celebrates Obama's victory and proudly unfurls the American flag as he is inducted into the Foot Soldiers Hall of Fame. Mr. Armstrong links the magnitude of the present paradigm shift with challenges he faced in the past: from his sons' integration into an all white school to the Bloody Sunday march for voting rights. The documentary raises questions about democracy and patriotism in the face of adversity, and the vigilance and action required to ensure continued forward movement to end racial injustice. 　　One of eight Documentary Short Subject contenders for the 84th Academy Awards®

此片有助于抵挡不绝于耳的煽动者的谎言和丑闻，与当下的现实同样严肃，可也无法冲淡竞选带来的激动人心的情绪。911，卡特里娜飓风，安然公司事件以及伊战之后，美国式的乐观情绪若想要重回主流，受到以下两方面因素的阻碍：军事上的受挫和国内的焦虑情绪。这是一场美国式的诠释，但它对于自身限制的认知却是非美国式的。本片通过回顾美国历史中美妙绝伦的时刻来解读现世，将诸如托马斯杰弗森、亨利福特、马克吐温、亚伯拉罕林肯之类的传奇人物，和如今的士兵、商人、卡车司机、教师以及（甚至）政客联系起来。这个系列片及时而生动地将重大历史时刻前的美国（过去和现在）展现在观众眼前。

The End of America details the ten steps a country takes when it slides toward fascism. It's not a "lefty"tot tome, rather a historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history that are being repeated in our country today. It gives any reader (or viewer of the lecture) a much-needed history lesson and constitutional refresher. Most importantly, it puts the recent gradual loss of civil liberties in the U.S. in a historical context. The average American might not be alarmed at AT&T selling our private information to the Bush administration, but when this action is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear. 　　- Written by Production

An unacknowledged poet Igor (Sergei Chetvertkov) is taping a video-letter to his ex-girlfriend who emigrated to America. The taping is interrupted by scenes from his life.

Breathing new life into the traditional civics lesson, Peter Sagal, host of NPR's "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me," travels across the country on a Harley Davidson to find out where the U.S. Constitution lives, how it works and how it doesn't ... how it unites us as a nation and how it has nearly torn us apart. Sagal introduces some major constitutional debates today and talks with ordinary Americans and leading constitutional experts about what the Constitution actually says and what it means, the dramatic historical events and crises that have defined it, and why all this matters.
