The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
"In December, Sundance Channel and Court TV present an original four-part series exploring contemporary issues that redefine our Constitutional rights in "The First Amendment Project." In recent years, various international events - from 9/11 and the War on Terrorism to the politicization of religious groups - have pulled and pushed on our concept of the First Amendment. In response to these new times, Sundance Channel and Court TV invited a group of filmmakers to explore the First Amendment on their own terms and in their own way. The resulting four films, much like the filmmakers who created them, demonstrate a fascinating range of ideas and approaches, each returning to that central conflict of freedom and responsibility that is embedded in the First Amendment."
Tune in to the Sundance Channel at 9:00pm and 9:30pm on December 7th and again on the 14th and see all four segments of the series. Court TV will be playing the episodes on the same dates but at 10:00pm and 10:30pm.

Thanks, that sounds very interesting. There is also a network that will be exploring the ten commandments in ten contemporary short films. I will try to figure out what network they will air on, since it also sounds interesting to me.
