Alabama: "It's a thick book"
Hill Carmichael from Greater Birmingham Ministries emails: Hello Constitutional Reform Advocates,
A new documentary by Homewood High School graduate Lewis Lehe offers a unique, funny, and powerful look at the 1901 Alabama Constitution.
Lehe’s 49-minute documentary, It’s a Thick Book, is comprised of candid interviews mixed with brilliant narration explaining the complex issues about the Alabama Constitution. The film eloquently captures the viewer’s attention and fairly argues for the reasons why constitutional reform is so badly needed in Alabama. Lehe interviews numerous individuals and community leaders who are working to reform the 1901 Constitution including historian Wayne Flynt, former Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform (ACCR) Foundation President Dr. Thomas Corts and current ACCR, Inc. Chair Lenora Pate.
The ACCR Foundation is currently working with Greater Birmingham Ministries' Constitutional Reform Education Campaign and other partner organizations to get Lehe's documentary screened at theaters in Birmingham, Montgomery and other communities throughout the state. These premieres will happen during the week of March 5th when Lehe will be home for spring break. The schedule for times and locations of these viewings will be posted on the ACCR Foundation web site— www.constitutionALreform.org —the week of February 12th.
