FILMS FOR ACTION

Free The Nipple (NSFW) (trailer)

5

I'm Lina Esco and I'm a filmmaker living in Los Angeles. Last year I directed my first film, "FREE THE NIPPLE" based on true events about a topless group of women who bravely fought the censorship laws in New York. The film is almost done. Now we need your help to push it over the finish line and into theaters across the country...as we are facing some very challenging censorship laws!

Today in the USA it is ILLEGAL, a CRIMINAL ACT, for a woman to be topless in 37 states, in some states this even includes breast feeding. However, in New York City, in 1992 it became LEGAL to be topless in public, but the NYPD continued to arrest women anyway! I believe these laws do not reflect the dream upon which the United States was founded, and I believe Americans need to be free at all costs! So we took to the streets with our fearless cast, a film crew and armies of topless women to end this insane war on women's boobs!

The first week we started shooting, something extraordinary happened. Our little independent film exploded into a full blown "real life" revolution of topless women, activist groups and graffiti artists invading the streets of NYC, waging a cultural war for our personal freedom.  I've spent so many years of my life on this movie, and every dollar I have to make it. We need your help to finish the film. We need you to join the FREE THE NIPPLE team. Together we can complete the film, get it into theaters and start the "real life" revolution. 

 "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality!"                                                                                                                  - John Lennon

By supporting "FREE THE NIPPLE,"  you become part of the real life revolution. We need new heroes. Together we can free our country from these backward censorship laws that force police to arrest women for the most basic human right, to breastfeed your child in public or to be topless on a beach. My dream is that this movie will help change the ridiculous censorship laws in this country by inspiring new laws to de-criminalize the female body.

Films For Action is a library for people who want to change the world.

 

Our mission is to provide citizens with the knowledge and perspectives essential to creating a more beautiful, just, sustainable, and democratic society.

Films For Action was founded in 2006 by a few friends in Lawrence, Kansas, after realizing how essential healthy media is to a healthy democracy.

Over the last 15 years, we've reviewed and curated over 1,000 free documentaries and 4,000 short films, plus over 150 pay-per-view documentaries, spanning 34 topics related to changing the world.

During this time we've been able to reach tens of millions of people - not by owning a TV network or spending truckloads of cash on advertising, but because millions of awesome people keep sharing 'films for action' with their friends on social media - in particular, our 850,000 supporters on Facebook and 70,000 site members. 

One of the coolest things is, thanks to our patrons, our library is ad-free and 100% supported by member donations, while 99% of our library is free to access and always will be. The pay-per-view films on our site, of course, help support the filmmakers, and 90-100% of the revenue for PPV films hosted by us goes to the filmmakers. 

To thank our $5/mo patrons, we partner with filmmakers and distributors to provide access to a growing number of films that are normally pay-per-view. With just 23 highly curated films at the moment, it's basically a mini "Netflix for world changers," but its main function is to support the library as a whole.

If you'd like to know more, want to help out, or you're a filmmaker or distributor looking to collaborate, feel free to get in touch!

Cheers,  
Tim Hjersted
