Finn -- thanks for making the video. I was a grad student at UW-Madison from 1995 - 2003. I didn't think I would ever see what is going on in Madison right now. Thank you for giving people a voice.

Beautiful video. Thank you for standing in solidarity.

Ok, my quest for the next hour is try to get Huffington Post to link to this. It propelled Matt's video and hopefully will do the same for yours.

I love it. Idk if I have more words but I love it. It's blunt and to the point and hits home. It's not as much about how cool it is that we are protesting but about the real problem and I like that. A+

Great job with this video. Bonus points for using Cougar for the music! Real Madison music by musicians who support the cause (as demonstrated via their Twitter).

From one filmmaker to another, congratulations on a beautiful piece. Excellent shooting, editing, pacing, music, and selection of interview subjects. Bravo!

I especially like the Police Officer's comments. I don't always think that every Democratic politician has my best interests at heart, but people are waking up to the fact that Republicans are bought and paid for by corporate interests.

Great job! Videos like this are helping to show everyone what we're all about. This is a great way to show the people of Wisconsin. Thank you.

I love how you use all of the interviews as voiceovers. Nice effect. Gives it a contemplative feel.

Thanks Sam. Really appreciate the support!

Very moving. For I don't know how many times in the last two weeks, I am all choked up again.

Does this video have captions or can they be added? I think it's a wonderful video. I've posted it on my Facebook profile and would like it to be accessible to my Deaf and hard of hearing friends.
Finn Ryan 11 months ago

I appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately, we don't have captions or a transcript. I did post the video YouTube for users unable to access Vimeo. They should have auto captions, but it doesn't look they're working. If we do create captions, I will let you know.

Thanks Kevin. Good to hear from you!
Sue Harrell 11 months ago

That was beautiful and heart warming. I am so proud to be a Wisconsinite, proud of the "Missing" 14, and to show others we can still peacefully protest! My 15 year-old grandaughter was in downtown Appleton last nite, for an Appleton Highschool student protest against Walkers bill. She made me so proud!
Sue Harrell 11 months ago

This should be on TV, have you checked into having it put on TV, maybe by an organization against Walker that has made some commercials in the past week?
Lisa Kassner 11 months ago

Welcome to Vimeo.com! You hit a big grand slam home run with this video...

I am a trade unionist... I think we need a 1 Labor Channel Cooperative!

I grew up in Wisconsin... You do us all proud!

Kindest and sincerest warm regards,

Lisa Jayne Kassner

You gave a voice to the people. It was great to hear from people other then politicians. Keep up the amazing work.
Peggy Frain 11 months ago

David, Finn, Narayan.... the people need to be heard. that's what the issue is here--- their voice being taken away from them. Thank you for giving them a voice-- for letting them speak. Beautiful video

Beautifully shot, compelling voices. I would defy Mr. Walker to sit through these 3 and 1/2 minutes and not be moved.

Excellent video. Go Wisconsin! Standing with you in my heart and thoughts and prayers. You have inspired so many and have given hope to so many of us Americans, reminding us what true democracy is all about, inspiring us with your bravery. Keep up the good fight. It is in your movement that it reminds us why we should be proud to be Americans.
