RELEASE SNEAK PEEK OF “Bern” – The
Bernie Sanders Documentary Film Includes Rare
Footage and Interviews of Bernie Sanders from 1960's to 1990's
AUSTIN, Texas / April 29, 2016
– Featuring rarely-seen archival footage of Bernie Sanders, The Bernie
Sanders Documentary "Bern" examines the people, places and events that
shaped the man who has inspired such widespread grassroots support in
the 2016 presidential election. The film traces Sanders' personal and
political evolution from a student activist at the University of Chicago
to his four terms as mayor of Burlington, VT and on through his careers
in the U.S. House and Senate, and gives viewers a chance to get to know
Bernie Sanders the man, so they can learn about Bernie Sanders, the
candidate. The website for the film is: https://www.bernthemovie.com.
"We
started this project simply as voters wanting to learn more about a
candidate, but it quickly became something much larger. The more we
investigated, the more we realized a very interesting story was taking
shape and that the only way to tell it right was to take a closer look
at Bernie's history and figure out why he has connected so strongly with
so many people,” says Executive Producer Jay Matthew.
The project was created by Matthew along with Executive Producer Chris Blankenship and Director/Producer Miriam Paredes to capture what they see as a pivotal time in this country's history, one that touches on issues of economic disenfranchisement, class conflict, social inequity and the shifting value we place on community and individual freedom.
In
keeping with the project's mission to highlight the power of community,
the film will be distributed free online. The first installment will
premiere on May 27, 2016, ten days before the California, Montana, North
Dakota, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and Washington DC
primaries. The second installment, which will document the run-up to
the election in November and its aftermath, is scheduled to premiere
February 27, 2017, regardless of the outcome of the election because, as
EP Matthew explained, “We believe that what Bernie Sanders is doing for
the political and social landscape of America will go far beyond the
2016 race.”
