Apolitical college student Brian DeRouen turns activist after attending an annual protest at the U.S. Army's controversial Fort Benning, Ga., School of the Americas, a training program for Latin American soldiers which has long been linked with atrocities in that region, in "On the Line: Dissent in an Age of Terrorism."

The feature documentary uses DeRouen's experience, which eventually includes conviction for trespassing and a prison term, to explore the gray area where national security and civil liberties collide. On-camera interviews with actors Martin Sheen and Susan Sarandon, Dead Man Walking author Sister Helen Prejean, Former House Majority Whip Tony Coelho and others add different perspectives.
