This two-disc director's cut is jam packed with exclusive bonus material, including:

  • an exclusive interview with Anthony Romero, president of the ACLU
  • a featurette with New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof
  • a detailed interview with Daniel Ellsberg, best remembered for The Pentagon Papers, which triggered the resignation of Pres. Nixon
  • and much more

Along with the rest of America, best-selling author and feminist Naomi Wolf was overwhelmed by the swell of conflicting information and the sudden march to war after 9/11. Wolf looked to history to help her understand the dramatic changes she believed she was witnessing, and discovered the disturbing similarities between post-9/11 US policy and that of historically fascist regimes such as Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany.

Wolf authored her next book, THE END OF AMERICA, which demonstrated that the United States was on a remarkably defined path toward ending democracy. Taking the thesis of her book to the streets, Wolf set out on a national tour to discuss the evolution of America from a functional democracy into a closed, fear-driven society with a terrifying absence of due process.

In this profound and eye-opening film, Award-winning veteran documentarians Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK, THE TRIALS OF DARRYL HUNT) accompany Wolf as she discusses America's dangerous passage towards becoming a society of fear and surveillance, and expresses her plea to restore our nation's most cherished values.

Naomi Wolf sounds the alarm for all American patriots. We must come together as a nation and recommit ourselves to the fundamental American idea that no president, whether Democrat or Republican, will ever be given unchecked power.
Wes Boyd, co-founder, MoveOn.org

The framers of our Constitution fully understood that it can happen here. Patriots like Madison, Paine, and Franklin would certainly applaud Naomi Wolf and recognize her as a sister in their struggle.
Mark Crispin Miller, author of Fooled Again

One of the most important books that's been written, certainly in the last decade or two, and perhaps in my lifetime.
-- Thom Hartmann, best-selling author and host of The Thom Hartmann Radio Program

Naomi Wolf s End of America is a vivid, urgent, mandatory wake-up call that addresses momentous issues of tyranny, democracy, and survival.
Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of the three-volume Eleanor Roosevelt

This latest offering from best-selling author Wolf, The Beauty Myth, is a harbinger of an age that may finally see the patriarchal realm of political discourse usurped. Here is Wolfs compellingly and cogently argued political argument for civil rights, not womens rights... Her chapters outline the Ten Steps to Fascism citing historical corollaries (as well as the pigs in Orwells Animal Farm), with headings like Invoke an External and Internal Threat, Establish Secret Prisons, and Target Key Individuals.... In other words, fascism can exist without dictatorship. Highly recommended for all collections.
Theresa Kintz, Wilkes Univ., Wilkes-Barre, PA, Library Journal
