N"Gag Rules" Teresa Dulce

Gag Rules by Teresa Dulce, 23 min Portland, US, 2004
Every Wednesday, Portland's City Council has "open communications," in which anyone can step up and talk for three minutes about, well, almost anything. Local artist and activist Teresa Dulce (Founder of Danzine) took advantage of this loophole for an entire month to bring in her friends and talk about STDs, condoms, and hepatitis--Dulce even rapped out a poem that seemed to arouse councilmember Randy Leonard. Gag Rules captures these "performances" and the council's reactions on tape.
