Naomi Wolf – the essayist and lecturer, known to many for debunking
manufactured beauty in her book, The Beauty Myth – became concerned
about the erosion of civil liberties in the United States. Her research
led her to consider the histories of Italy, Russia, Germany, Chile, El
Salvador, Burma, and other countries over the last 70 to 80 years. In
2007, she published End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot
in which she outlines 10 fault lines along which democracies can fail
and freedom compromised. End of America is now a documentary film in
which Emmy Award nominated filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Sterns
capture Ms. Wolf's lecture along with interviews and commentary from
legal, military, academic, and civilian persons affected by these
developments in this country. The film which will have its world
premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 17 will
be presented at The New School on October 23rd. Ms. Wolf will discuss
the film and her work. Copies of End of America and her new book Give me
Liberty will be available for signing.  Sponsored by the Graduate
Program in International Affairs.
