Dead Patriot Films presents "Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire" - a 79-minute, PG-13 documentary that brings audiences to the center of the controversy over an issue that is dividing our nation - gun control. The film takes a step back from the public discourse on limiting magazine capacity and defining assault rifles. Instead, "Assaulted" offers a unique historical perspective on the Second Amendment's significance, taking a critical and objective look at the current gun laws, and the effect on civil rights and liberty.Created by Emmy winning producer and writer Kris Koenig ("400 Years of the Telescope," the upcoming "Fight for Space") and produced by Eric Katzenberg ("Secrets of Navy SEALS," "American Guns"), the film is narrated by critically acclaimed rapper and actor Ice-T ("Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap," "Law and Order: SVU")."Basic American civil rights are being threatened by efforts to constrain the Second Amendment. Gun control debates that focus on gun technology and not the roots of gun violence are not helping to resolve the issue," commented Kris Koenig, executive producer, director and writer. "'Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire' examines the original intent of current gun laws through the examples of important moments in U.S. history - because balanced information is critical to ensure that we balance public safety concerns with our civil liberties.",With the original intention of empowering a citizenry to defend themselves against a corrupt or tyrannical government, the concept behind the Second Amendment may seem farfetched today. Or does it? "Assaulted" weaves together such narrative threads as the post-World War II Battle of Athens and the Deacons for Defense of the Jim Crow era with more recent events, including the abandonment of Koreatown during the Rodney King Riots and the heavy-handed action taken by officials during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Press Quotes

Assaulted isn't a one-sided documentary popped out of the Michael Moore mold. The film talks to a variety of sources, from fervent gun rights activist Ted Nugent to Dan Gross, the President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

     —BREITBART

The film provides some interesting food for thought that elevates the discussion... Makes its arguments with a reasonable degree of historical context and thoughtful if vehement arguments.

     —Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

A surprisingly non-shrill and sobersided documentary.
