A feature-length documentary by directors Lori Cheatle and Daisy Wright, `This Land is Your Land`, will be screened as part of the 73rd Whitney Biennial: Day for Night. On April 2nd, 2006, at 2:00 P.M. the documentary will be presented as well as on April 29th at 2:00pm at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.

The Biennial is the Whitney`s signature show and it has become the most important survey of contemporary art in America today. This year`s Biennial is curated by Chrissie Iles, The Whitney`s Anne & Joel Ehrenkranz Curator, and Philippe Vergne, the Deputy Director and Chief Curator of The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The Biennial opens to the public on March 2nd, 2006 and remains on view at the Whitney Museum through May 28, 2006.

`This Land is Your Land` blends pertinent information with uplifting humor to explore the impact of corporations on the daily lives and rights of ordinary people. Filmed over the course of three years, the filmmakers interviewed a wide range of experts and individuals about the history of corporate influence in America, while highlighting some of the brave, compelling and extraordinary ways in which individuals and communities are reacting.
