Mighty Ira (2020)
Powerful Advocacy for Free Speech
6 February 2023
A wonderful and powerful documentary about the importance of free speech. Not only does the film show how the best way to combat dangerous or hateful speech is with better speech, but it also shows to how to keep humanity even through ideological debate. I particularly appreciated learning about Ira's friendship with Buckley, and the conversations he has with a Skokie resident who survived The Holocaust. The film showed how people can disagree respectfully and still laugh together and enjoy each other's company.
Learned a lot not just about one man, but about a way of life and thinking that needs to be reintroduced to our hyper partisan world.
