Narrated by the late, acclaimed historian Howard Zinn, and based on his best selling books, A People's HIstory of the United States and, with Anthony Arnove, Voices of A People's History, THE PEOPLE SPEAK (http://www.thepeoplespeak.com) brings to life the letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans who fought for equality and justice from the bottom up.

The feature film, which includes 20 minutes of footage not in the television broadcast, is co-directed by Moore, Arnove and Zinn and features dramatic and musical performances by Allison Moorer, Benjamin Bratt, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Robinson, Christina Kirk, Danny Glover, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, David Strathairn, Don Cheadle, Eddie Vedder, Harris Yulin, Jasmine Guy, John Legend, Josh Brolin, Kathleen Chalfant, Kerry Washington, Lupe Fiasco, Marisa Tomei, Martín Espada, Matt Damon, Michael Ealy, Mike O'Malley, Morgan Freeman, P!nk, Q'orianka Kilcher, Reg E. Cathey, Rich Robinson, Rosario Dawson, Sandra Oh, Sean Penn, Staceyann Chin, and Viggo Mortensen.

The Los Angeles Times called THE PEOPLE SPEAK "striking, exhilarating...the performances are thrilling" and The Boston Globe said: "The documentary...works beautifully. Each passionate reading flows out of the previous one."
