About this Event

The film follows Dorian Spence, a veteran stand-up comedian trying to speak the truth during a political climate marked by crackdowns on free speech, including pressures highlighted by fictionalized or satirical references to high-profile media suspensions.

“I wrote Free Speech Costs Plenty in response to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel for jokes he did on air that the president and the FCC chairman did not agree with As a stand up comedian I think this film speaks to the slippery slope that America is currently on by trying to regulate free speech.” -- Donald E.
