Our brave little band incarcerated, are their seminal heroes also locked up, away from American awareness and action. How is it that so many cultural leaders, along with their ideas have faded into obscurity, perhaps the subject of academic essays or studies, but absent from the lives of everyday citizens? If half of the remarkable positions taken by our historical figures had been put into practice we might very well be way beyond our current cultural wars, our deadlocked congress, our battling news sources. Adults seem to be too far along in their personal growth to welcome transformation and opportunity. It is the young, the students who must be given a chance to have a clear view of our history, to value and understand science and to rise above our racist and misogynistic past. What are the chances that schools will develop such curricula? What are the chances that corporations 217 and politicians will be open to such ideas and their consequences? How likely is any citizen to become a believer in the hopeful possibilities for us all embodied in the remarkable lives and work of our splendid actors? Could John and his secret film find an audience somewhere and make a difference for us all?
