It's been super interesting watching Bernie's presidential campaign this time around, along with the other candidates who are either squarely in the progressive lane or trying to straddle progressive and more establishment positions. Waking the Sleeping Giant: The Making of a Political Revolution somehow feels even more relevant today than it did when it first came out, making some sense of what's happening on the left and where we go from here (here's the trailer in case you want to refresh your memory). Now we can actually see, in real time, where the movement building during the last campaign is taking us today (both the encouraging and the disappointing).
On that note, we'd like to share some great news: Waking the Sleeping Giant is now on Amazon Prime! If you are an Amazon Prime member, check it out (and please give the film a review if you can spare a quick minute).
If you don't have Amazon Prime, it's also on Amazon Video, iTunes, Vimeo, and most other video-on-demand services.
And you can buy the DVD or Blu-ray version directly from us (which helps us cover the costs of sharing the film with folks who can't afford it).
One other great option: ask your local library to get it! Libraries can purchase the film directly from the Sleeping Giant website.
Please consider leaving a review wherever you watch the film. Those reviews on Amazon, iTunes, and everywhere else make a huge difference. You can even give the film a review on IMDB.
Wishing you all the best this autumn -
Kathryn, Jon, & Jacob
