ABOUT THE SCREENING 

Floyd Abrams: Speaking Freely is a biopic of the First Amendment, told by the story of one of its greatest legal advocates. The film traces the path of this law from its early precedents in the 1960s to today, as pressing concerns around free speech have the nation questioning anew: what price are we willing to pay for free speech?
