DVD Giveaway: Howard Zinn's The People Speak

Courtesy of the fine folks at A & E Home Entertainment and The History Channel, I have a shiny new copy of The People Speak to give away to one lucky reader. Find out below how it can be yours for the low low cost of free dollars. 

Here's the official description: "Using dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans, The People Speak focuses on the concept of democracy based on the lives and experiences of ordinary Americans who, through their words and actions, changed the course of history. Narrated by Howard Zinn and based on his bestselling books, "A People's History of the United States", and "Voices of a People's History", this groundbreaking documentary film illustrates the relevance of these passionate historical moments to our society today, reminding us that democracy is not a spectator sport and to never take liberty for granted. A journey from the founding of this country to the civil rights movement and beyond, The People Speak uses star power to celebrate democracy: executive producer Matt Damon reads from The Declaration of Independence; Bruce Springsteen performs Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land"; while other accomplished performers, including Morgan Freeman, Marisa Tomei, Josh Brolin, Viggo Mortensen, Kerry Washington, Bob Dylan and Eddie Vedder lend their voices to help re-create the emotional impact of these moments in history."

As an undergrad at BU I once heard Zinn speak, but I've never actually read any of his books. Needless to say I'm very interested to view my screener copy, and I will post a review when I announce the winner of the giveaway.
