The People Speak is now running on the History channel (Comcast cable 62 in Pacifica) on Sunday nights at 8. See one of the stars of the show, Matt Damon, talk about it on JAY LENO. Using dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries, and speeches of everyday Americans, the documentary feature film The People Speak gives voice to those who spoke up for social change throughout U.S. history, forging a nation from the bottom up with their insistence on equality and justice.
