      America: Freedom to Fascism

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      This documentary about the American income tax and whether citizens must pay it is more of a scattershot diatribe than a persuasive argument.

      Dallas Morning News Rated: D Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic Russo's brand of libertarianism is at best naive and at worst tin-foil-hat crazy. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 5, 2006 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times Essentially the filmmaking equivalent of an enraged blog on the Web -- pointed and provocative, but not exactly a comprehensive source for the issues it addresses. Rated: 2/5 Sep 28, 2006 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "America: Freedom To Fascism" captures America's current gloom and doom zeitgeist with plenty of controversial ideas to send any dinner party into a shouting match. Rated: B- Apr 21, 2009 Full Review Kam Williams One People's Project A thought-provoking clarion call which concludes that America, instead of being by the people and for the people is, in truth, an oppressive, exploitative Big Brother where government and corporations reign supreme. Rated: 4/4 May 11, 2007 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com repetitive and completely self-serving, with Russo making a serious of specious arguments that are largely laughed at by his serious subjects Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 2, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

      Johnny G SUPERB TRUTH! It is America, August 26, 2022 and Aaron Russo was RIGHT. All of his critics were WRONG and are eating humble pie OR are six feet under if they didn't die from the jab or overdosed on legal opioids. We have to SAVE America and get back to Constitutional Taxation, Constitutional Banking and Constitutional Gold and Silver money. NO MORE FIAT CURRENCIES. Repel The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 AND the Sixteenth Amendment. Nixon's reasons for getting the dollar off the gold standard were blatant LIES. Aaron Russo was RIGHT! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/22 Full Review Audience Member It is now 2020 and this film has come to fruition, Russo was spot on and anyone saying different is part of the problem and anti-american. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member a soup of fact, non fact, rumor and paranoid imaginings........all mixed together Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a very well argued piece. Watch it and form your own opinion, instead of letting others tell you what to think. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary, funny how he died shortly after making that film. Also watch the Alex Jones Aaron Russo interview on YouTube and you'll see why Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This film should be required viewing to pass U.S. History in High School... Most citizens don't even know the Federal Reserve is NOT part of the Federal Govt. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
