Ted Hearne & Mark Doten - The Source (2015)

FREE CHELSEA MANNING!!! RIGHT NOW!!! (the fact that Chelsea Manning could face the prospect of lifetime imprisonment and torture at the hands of the U.S. Government for exposing the hows of U.S. Imperial Warfare but refused to do so misgendered makes her even that much more my hero. The Source is an Opera based upon the documents released by Chelsea along with documents about the people and the events surrounding that release and all of what happened after. The fact that Chelsea Manning has attempted suicide again while in solitary confinement as a punishment for a prior suicide attempt is an intolerable state of affairs. This is atrocity. Release Chelsea Manning NOW. I wish I had more and better words today but I do not. Release Chelsea Manning. Release Chelsea Manning. Release Chelsea Manning. Now. <3 <3 <3
