Online Documentary Details History of Government Surveillance

Via The ACLU.

From national civil rights activist Julian Bond to an ordinary Middle Eastern mother whose son and husband were imprisoned for a year with no charges brought against them, Tracked in America tells the compelling stories of 25 individuals who have been the targets of government surveillance. The online audio documentary -- launched today by a coalition of human rights, civil rights and educational organizations -- provides an in-depth look at U.S. government surveillance throughout history.

Tracked in America is available online at www.trackedinamerica.org and is being distributed by a broad partnership of groups ranging from the American Civil Liberties Union to the California Federation of Teachers. More than a million individuals make up the combined membership of the coalition.
