- Summary:
- What I Didn't Know About Free Speech tells the story of a filmmaker's journey -- from a mild irritation to a deep fear for our country, from left to right and back again. It was supposed to be a small film about free speech on college campuses--until a powerful totalitarian challenge threatened this most American of rights. The filmmaker came to see that even a very basic freedom can be understood and championed in many different ways, and in the hunger for power, it can even be ignored.
