Beyond the Patriot Act: A Novel of Love and Redemption during the Civil War (Military Heroes)

This premiere episode features ordinary Americans like Patricia David, whose husband of 10 years was taken from his job and held in detention for months before being secretly deported to Pakistan. The show also tells the uplifting story of a growing grassroots campaign that has led to the passage of nearly 400 community resolutions opposing the Patriot Act. It features real clients and the attorneys who represent them, as well as well-known actors, comedians, and activists. The show demonstrates how a misguided law and other government overreactions to 9/11 have restricted our most basic constitutional freedoms and threaten America's system of checks and balances.
