"Tourists in DC" documents the personal journey of a group of friends who traveled to Washington DC to participate in the anti-war protests during the last weekend of September 2005.

Many of the group wanted to experience the events from the periphery, maintaining a somewhat detached objectivity. By the end of the actions, two members of the group were jailed and two more, armed with megaphone and guitar, performed a re-written version of the Declaration of Independence in front of the White House as marchers streamed past them to get arrested.

Recording their experiences on personal camcorders, they captured scenes that included Police dressed as demonstrators attemping to incite a riot. "Tourists in DC" was constructed entirely on these home video recordings. It documents thier personal journeys from a somewhat playful and irreverent detachment to finding themselves at the center of the action.
