Voice of an Angel: Priscilla Ahn »

Several years ago, a video blogger by the name of Josh Wolf was imprisoned for not handing over his video to the federal authorities. The video dealt with the G8 protest in San Francisco, and Wolf wanted to protect the people in the video, so he refused to give the video. He spent seven month in prison before he was released.

His story captured Donna Lee’s attention, and she decided to make a documentary out of it. The documentary is called Adventures of Josh Wolf: Activist Video Blogger. The documentary was shown last month at the Mill Valley Film Festival and received great reviews. This is Lee’s first film project, a project she decided to do for a class.

In the future, she plans to submit this documentary to Korean film festivals next year. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see and hear about this like at Pusan International Film Festival!

Wow, it’s crazy how you get treated as a criminal for protecting other people’s rights.

He was probably arrested for obstruction of justice. I’m surprised it took him so long to get out.

Or withholding evidence to a crime.


Someone should send her documentary to current tv to raise awareness.


Well I’m glad it caught someone’s attention.


Never knew video blogging could be so dangerous. haha
