The American Civil Liberties Union and its affiliates will host screenings of acclaimed filmmaker Robert Greenwald's latest groundbreaking documentary "Unconstitutional" in more than 25 states, including a world premiere on September 13 at the University of Texas at Austin and a September 14 screening at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater in New York.

"Unconstitutional", which was written, directed and produced by Nonny de la Peņa, explores how the Patriot Act has taken away checks on law enforcement and continues to endanger the civil liberties of all Americans. The Patriot Act, which was passed just 45 days after September 11 with virtually no debate, is being met with a significant grassroots groundswell from across the political spectrum. Resolutions opposing the Patriot Act have passed in approximately 340 communities in 41 states, including four statewide resolutions. These communities represent over 53 million people who believe that the Patriot Act goes too far.

The film's world premiere in Austin will be followed by a special question-and-answer session with Greenwald.
