Liberty Bound
Iconoclast Interview With
Christine Rose

By Nathan Diebenow

AUSTIN — Filmmaker Christine Rose sees fascism in America, and she wants to talk about it — as defined by fascism’s poster boy, Benito Mussolini, the late dictator of Italy:
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism, because it is the merger of State and Corporate Power,” he said.

But Rose has found the hard way with her documentary Liberty Bound that it’s not so easy. Last summer she had difficulties finding a distributor for the film inside the United States. Liberty Bound examines the U.S. after 9/11, the war in Iraq, and America’s fascist tendencies, most notably in the current White House.

Rose said she thinks the reason for her film’s cool U.S. reception is about its discussion of fascism more than its amateurish style; however, she admits that both style and substance play a part in the chill factor.

“I think that if you see the film — even with people who go into it going, “Gosh, that’s absurd!” and they see the segment on Bush and Hitler — it’s done in a way that makes sense. That’s what I do. I don’t make the comparison myself. It’s been made, and it’s still being made,” she said. “People may not like it, but it’s happening, and what I do is examine why.”
