Quotes About the Film

Filming "We Want the Airwaves" was like letting an unbroken horse out of a barn - a straight, unstoppable force that must be ridden to its ultimate, sometimes painful conclusion.

"Manifesto!" was called a lot of things, including "A gigantic call to action" and "the next evolution in television." "We Want the Airwaves" tells the story of making "Manifesto!" a ground (and genre) breaking docuseries; how they got it made, and metaphorically, "where the bodies are buried."

"We Want the Airwaves" is, at it’s core, an argument for our first amendment rights on a grand scale. An argument for a people’s platform. A platform that celebrates citizen heroes in the making.
