Did you know that Truthout is a nonprofit and independently funded by readers like you? If you value what we do, please support our work with a donation.
In 2005, filmmaker and truthout reporter Chris Hume took the nation’s pulse. He traveled to the forgotten corners of America, and let the people speak. In the pivotal year of 2008, he traveled even further. Chris and his partner Amy Sunshine Moon explored a country on the edge of financial ruin. Political gang colors aside, this is more of a celebration of a people as they struggle to survive in a harsh new landscape.
Short videos from the documentary will appear every few days. The full DVD is available for sale at www.redstateroadtrip.com. A portion of the proceeds will go to Truthout.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 4 Days to raise $30,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (4 days left).
