Summary
Locked up indefinitely? No lawyer? No trial? If you think this can't happen to an American citizen, think again. Since 9/11 and the adoption of the Patriot Act, America has faced a fearsome erosion of civil liberties. This big-budget documentary reveals how paranoia, fear, and ethnic profiling have led to the subjugation of America's constitutional rights. Made for a theatrical release by Hollywood director Robert Greenwald, Unconstitutional exposes how the Patriot Act, meant to defend America, is actually leaving the country more vulnerable to future terrorist attacks. Officials acknowledge that the policies heralded by the act are isolating and antagonizing the very communities the nation needs to engage.
