"Freedom's Fury now available on DVD. Thanks to our friends at Film Baby and Colin and Megan the master minds behind this great Documentary you can now own a copy. Since spout.com is not able to sell you this dvd yet I will tell you where to go to get it. http://www.filmbaby.com/films/ 2438, go there order the dvd if you are as lucky as me you will get the two you ordered (one for you and one to give to a friend) AND a bag of microwavable popcorn. Film Baby, well done, you exceeded my expectations. Go buy it, come back to spout.com and write a review and tell us and the film makers what you thought. "

I saw a film I most likely wouldn't have picked up at the rental store (even if it looked interesting and I thought "someday I want to get this") 3. I witnessed the result of supreme filmmaking talent—the film is proof that it is possible to take two seemingly disparate topics and successfully weave them together in a way that appeals to even unconnected people (in this case, I learned it's possible to bring together water polo and a political revolution—go figure) 4. I got even more excited about the film when I heard the filmmakers, Colin Gray and Megan Raney ("The Sibs") talk after the screening about their process and experiences 5. I later had the opportunity to meet and talk to Colin and Megan, and found them as genuine and kind and s ... "
