Suzanna Arundhati Roy is an Indian novelist, writer and activist. She won the Booker Prize in 1997 for her first novel, The God of Small Things, and, in 2002, the Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize. But this video is not about her, it's about her Words.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arundhati_Roy from http://www.weroy.org

We is a fast-paced 64 minute documentary that covers the world politics of power, war, corporations, deception and exploitation.

It visualizes the words of Arundhati Roy, specifically her famous Come September speech, where she spoke on such things as the war on terror, corporate globalization, justice and the growing civil unrest.

It's witty, moving, alarming and quite a lesson in modern history.

We is almost in the style of a continuous music video. The music used sets the pace and serves as wonderful background for the words of Ms. Roy and images of humanity in the world we live all in today.

We is a completely free documentary, created and released anonymously on the internet.

There are many ways to download and view it. If you'd like a TV quality copy, a DVD-R disc (also containing extras) can be obtained for a small donation.

See the About This Project page for more information about the documentary, the filmmaker and this web site.

I'm a huge fan of Ms Roy - great post!

I particularly like her book - 'The Algebra Of Infinite Justice' - I reccomend that everyone reads it!

I urge people to go to the site http://www.weroy.org and download a version and pass it around. Or contribute if you can. Since We is a completely free documentary, created and released anonymously on the internet.

It's disappointing that a reasoned, moderate point of view is, and will be, inherently less "popular" because it does not create or acknowledge a clear enemy for the populace to fear or rally against. Rhetoric is power.

I do not entirely agree with Ms. Roy, or more specifically her words, but I can certainly respect her.

Also, I would buy this soundtrack.

I remember seeing this one promoted a long time ago, I began watching it but skipped past it after 5 minutes. Gave it another shot today and I'm glad I did. Although I think I would've prefered to just listen to her speech.
