Journal of Disbelief

About This Movie

Journal of Disbelief presents a raw and unfiltered look at political dissent through the lens of the last two decades. The film centers on Barbara Lee's solitary stand against the war powers bill after 9/11, and it weaves together historical footage, news clips, and personal testimonies to create a tapestry of resistance. The pacing, a bit uneven at times, mirrors the tumultuous political climate it examines. There's an almost haunting quality to the archival material, reminding you of the weight of choices made in the face of fear. What sets this documentary apart is its refusal to shy away from uncomfortable truths, creating an atmosphere that feels both urgent and reflective. It’s a deep dive into the often-overlooked voices that challenge the status quo.
