Last night, Fight for the FutureDemand Progress, The Illuminator, and Restore the Fourth NYC teamed up for a guerrilla screening of Fight for the Future's new video about the NSA, narrated by Evangeline Lilly. I was on hand with my camera to document the occasion. It was a light-hearted affair given the subject matter, with an abundance of popcorn and a revelrous vibe.

Surprisingly, the New York City Police Department didn't bust the party. If there were some plain clothes officers in the crowd, perhaps they learned a little something about their government.

Check out both documentary above and footage from the public projection below. Watch for the clip of The Dude in The Big Lebowski saying, "New shit has come to light," which rather perfectly encapsulates Edward Snowden's NSA revelations.

The Rally Against Mass Surveillance will be held in Washington, DC on October 26th.
