Ian, Darryl (our lucky poster raffle winner!), and Derrick J at the 5th Anniversary Screening
After the screening, we gave away one of the few existing DJVCS movie posters to a lucky attendee and then director and star of the movie, Derrick J Freeman and I took a bunch of questions from the audience. We reflected on the last five years, where we are now, and looked to the future of the exciting, growing New Hampshire Freedom Migration.
Here’s the full video of the Q&A, in case you couldn’t be there:
What a pleasure and an honor it has been to executive produce this movie, working with the amazing talents of Derrick J Freeman and editing pro Beau Davis. I’m especially grateful to all the people who love and share Victimless Crime Spree with their friends and family. The pro-freedom message and spirit of the movie is infectious and fun, despite its ultimately sad ending. It’s an important documentary, and the first to come out of the community of libertarian migrants to the Shire. (In case you haven’t seen it, the second such documentary, also edited by Beau Davis, is “101 Reasons Liberty Lives in New Hampshire“.)
Here’s to another five years of new people seeing Victimless Crime Spree, becoming more libertarian, and ultimately migrating to New Hampshire!

We thank YOU for watching and sharing Victimless Crime Spree!
So you get 15 people to show up for a video that has been done to death? Obviously Derrick isn’t getting the limelight he thought he had in the past. By the size of the audience, he still didn’t get any limelight. Most of those people are freekeene activists. Of course Ian has to grab a little attention. By the way, there is no such thing as a “victimless crime”
Jacks, Jacks, Jacks. Again with this “there’s no such thing as a victimless crime” nonsense? You really should try and learn to control this compulsion you have to lie, sweetpea. You already know very well that Merriam-Webster, Wikipedia, Google, the ACLU, and pretty much the entirety of Western civilization disagrees with you. So why try to pretend any different?
You really need to start coming in here more prepared, Jacks. You’ll never defeat your rivals with this sort of slop.
Thanks Ian and Derrick and everybody who was involved with the movie – I for one found it heartwarming and inspirational! Definitely worth an anniversary celebration. Like countercultural scenes, activist scenes often come in waves, so I’m sure civil disobedience will rise again, and probably take new forms, when the time is right. Not that it every really stopped, as illustrated by Ian’s Shire license plate activism and other examples you guys mentioned during the talk. Ian also made a very important point in talking about the two young guys who were excitedly recounting the smoke-in at the Keene police… Read more »
