THE COST OF FREEDOM - Civil Liberties, Security and the USA PATRIOT Act
is a one-hour public television documentary produced in association with Iowa Public Television. The show examines the history of American civil liberties during wartime and the controversial USA PATRIOT Act that was passed in October of 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act gives strong powers to federal law enforcement agencies to battle what the administration has termed the "War on Terrorism." The film will help clarify the unique provisions of the act and the impact of those provisions on American citizens, resident aliens and foreign visitors and students.

In addition, the film will provide an overview of recurrent tensions between security and civil liberties. Throughout American history, the demands of national security have prompted presidents to impose limits on liberties and freedom. History reveals some significant similarities in the actions of American presidents, both Democrat and Republican.

The target broadcast date is September, 2004.
