Charged in the name of terror

Video portraits of activists, lawyers, artists, and people simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, accused by the U.S. government of being or aiding terrorists, in these great times. Official selection of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. An ongoing series curated and produced by artist Paul Chan. A portion of the royalties earned by this program will be paid into The Friends of Claude Cahun Fund, and will fund future works in the series.

"All the shorts are experimental in their pairing of sound and image yet plainspoken in their address, and their portraiture is partly concerned with the glory of particular ways of being alive." 

--Jonathan Rosenbaum

"Recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, these amazing shorts bring us face to face with the intersections of art and politics in our present age. Artist and activist Paul Chan invited a number of video artists to create intimate portraits of individual political activists who have been sentenced to jail by the U.S. government. Subjects include Lynne Stewart, Steve Kurtz, and Mohammed Yousry."
