Naomi Wolf has written some decent books and articles about feminism and pornography. This film, based on her book of the same name argues that America is turning into a fascist state. Emblematic of her thinking- She sees it as significant that there was once apparently an organisation in Nazi Germany called Schwarzwasser and now the US has Blackwater.
It is as ludicrous and paranoid as the wingnuts referring to Barack Obama as a communist.
The Case of Josh Wolf (no relation to Naomi) is brought up in the movie to show eroding press freedom. Josh Wolf had video footage that could have identified arsonists at a protest but chose not to give his footage after it was subpoenaed and therefor ended up in jail. This is most certainly not how this film recounts the story.
Readers of this blog are advised to watch Taxi to the Darkside, Standard Operating Procedure and Taking Liberties and to avoid The End of America at all costs.
