It will be followed by a panel discussion that will include David Feige, the film’s director, and Keith Wattley of Uncommon Law, which among other things helps people on parole at their parole hearings.
What it is about:
When a Florida lobbyist discovers his daughter has been sexually abused, he harnesses his extraordinary political influence to pass the toughest sex offender legislation in the country. UNTOUCHABLE chronicles his crusade and its impact on the lives of several of the 800,000 people forced to live under the laws he has championed. The film interweaves intimate portraits of men and women who have been branded sex offenders with stories of those who have suffered sexual abuse.
Join us for a post-film conversation with Keith Wattley and Director David Feige, winner of Tribeca Film Festival’s “New Documentary Director” award.
I guess if you are near or in Oakland already, then this might be a good thing. But being able to sit in the comfort of your own home and watch for the same price or less online is preferred.
I watched this via YouTube Premium for $3.99. Should have paid the $10 to “own” it. I recommend everyone in the movement see this film. Perhaps the general public would be well served to see it as well.
Going to the New Parkway Theatre IS like being in the comfort of your own home. It’s not your conventional theatre. It really does have sofas, grandfather chairs, bean bags, coffee tables. It’s like one big living room with a giant screen. I’ll probably go for the discussion.
I watched it as well. The books are despicable people. There’s one part the documentary in which Lauren is reading a book to some children. And you can clearly hear Ron book bragging to some bystanders that he has men on his payroll in Honduras that is going to kill the woman that molested his daughter when she gets out. Is the government going to do anything about that? Of course not because he is white and Rich. Also during the documentary there’s a scene where Ron book is getting dressed in a mirror and you can clearly see 6 357 rounds on his dresser. Ron book is a convicted felon. It is illegal for him to own transport or possess Firearms or ammunition. Yet he is blatantly showing but he owns firearms. Is the government going to do anything about that? Of course not because he is white and Rich stop. He even admits in the documentary that none of the laws he has helped pass would have prevented his daughters abuse. There we’re even politicians in the documentary saying that they were too afraid of Ron book to oppose him.
Did you catch the part where he says “we’ve intercepted communications” of the people protesting? I’m assuming this means he’s intercepted communications (including emails/chats/phone calls) between Derek Logue and others, as well as those behind W.A.R.
My best guess at this point is that Book is somehow directly tied in with Parents for Megan’s Law, who sued Derek. I cannot say here why I have reason to believe this.
Since you’ve brought this up, I’ll provide this bit of info.
Lauren Book got the lawsuit idea from PFML. Ken Rau, Laura Ahearn’s boyfriend and alleged ex-FBI agent of some sort, contacted the Books about the video I shared on Twitter, a video made by a woman who sang a silly Youtube song involving a certain song brought to us by the letter C. He claimed it was a “death threat” and the FBI were “investigating” and by FBI I assume he means himself. He told her to file the restraining order.
Since I mentioned this video was the “official Laura Ahearn AND Lauren Book theme song” then why did only one of them think it was? Simple. Because Ahearn was all about suing me for money. Her suit was far too obviously a SLAPP suit, and it wasn’t shutting me up.
If anyone thinks I’m making this up, the part about the communication with Ken Rau was written in the Book Crime Family’s initial complaint against me, so it was in a legal document.
I wanted a copy of this documentary not because I like the video– quite frankly, Feige’s work is the football equivalent of punting on First Down– but because I wanted the things the Books stated i the fill to be used against them, like the statement about Ron wanting to waterboard us, and his discussions about trying to get all of us at the 2015 Rally in Tally in trouble with our registration office. I got the call from my office the day of the protest. Their pla didn’t work but they were aggressively trying to cause me harm.
All y’all want to turn your back on me out of fear of getting sued, but I’m the one that’s putting these groups on defense. People should be supporting my efforts instead of thumbing their noses at me.
