It’s been a busy year here at Libertas and we wanted to take a moment to thank all of our readers, contributors, and media colleagues for all their support. We hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah, and that the New Year brings you all the very best!
We wanted to thank The Huffington Post and The Atlantic for featuring our work so frequently on their front pages. Jason and Govindini have had twenty-six pieces published at The Huffington Post and nine pieces at The Atlantic in a little over a year. Twenty-five of these pieces have been featured on the front page of these sites, bringing significant exposure to the pro-freedom, pro-democracy message of Libertas.
We also wanted to thank Indiewire for having Joe Bendel, Jason, and Govindini as part of their Criticwire community and for giving us the chance to contribute our reviews, letter grades, and critic’s picks to their critics’ polls.
We would like to give a very big thank you to Gretchen Brooks and her family for all of their friendship and support. Gretchen has made it possible for us to cover the Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, LA Film Festival, AFI Festival, and other major film events this year and we couldn’t be more grateful to her for her graciousness and kindness.
We would also like to thank Lars Larson for having Govindini on his nationally-syndicated radio show weekly to discuss movies. Lars and his whole team are always courteous and professional and we truly appreciate the exposure they have given to our ideas.
A very big thank you as well to Joe Bendel for his extraordinary contributions to Libertas this year. Joe’s knowledge of independent cinema is second to none, and his insightful and witty posts have been a tremendous asset to Libertas. Many thanks as well to Patricia Ducey, David Ross, and all our contributors, readers, and colleagues for everything they have added to Libertas! Best wishes to you all and here’s to a successful and productive 2013!

We wanted Libertas readers to know that the superb documentary film Klitschko is now available on DVD. Klitschko tells the story of the famous boxing brothers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, covering the brothers’ upbringing in the socialist Ukraine (their father served in the Ukrainian Air Force, and was a first-responder to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster), to their early successes as amateurs, to their move to Germany and subsequent rise as international boxing stars and holders of the championship titles of all five boxing federations. Vitali (the older brother), of course, also recently entered politics and ran for President of the Ukraine – capturing 14% of the vote.
LFM’s Joe Bendel reviewed Klitschko at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, and gave it an A grade, calling it “[b]riskly paced and quite informative … highly recommended.” The movie is available now from Corinth Films here.
