LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

WHAT: Dead Patriot Films is hosting the premiere of its inaugural film, "Assaulted: Civil Rights Under Fire," at the Raleigh Studios in Hollywood on Friday, June 14^th. The 79-minute, PG-13 documentary, which is narrated by critically acclaimed rapper and actor Ice-T, brings audiences to the center of the controversy over an issue that is dividing our nation – gun control.

WHY: "Assaulted" takes a step back from the public discourse on limiting magazine capacity and defining assault rifles. Instead, the film offers a historical perspective on the Second Amendment's significance, taking a critical and objective look at the current gun laws, and the effect on civil rights and liberty.

WHO: Created by Emmy winning producer and writer, Kris Koenig, "Assaulted" includes 30+ interviews from advocates on both sides of the argument, such as:

Ted Nugent – Rock Star and Second Amendment Advocate
Chris Cheng – Professional Marksman & Winner, "Top Shot" Season Four
Dan Gross – President, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
Bobbie Ross – Civil Rights Lawyer & Chair, American Bar Association's 2^nd Amendment Committee
