Speak Truth to Power

Taped at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Speak Truth to Power: Voices From Beyond the Dark, poet and playwright Ariel Dorfman's adaptation of writer Kerry Kennedy Cuomo and photographer Eddie Adams' book Speak Truth to Power--detailing the struggles of human rights activists around the world--introduces many of these activists, and their work, to Americans through dramatic readings by, among others, Kevin Kline, John Malkovitch, Sigourney Weaver, Hector Elizondo and Alfre Woodard. A timely and thought-provoking work about people who have stepped up and challenged governments, policies and cultural practices that are fundamentally wrong, if not, in fact, evil, this is highly recommended.
