United States.  If a class trip to the local cinema is not possible, consider one of the compressed and evocative snippets available:

Thanks for a very timely entry. I teach a Con Law course to undergraduates here at Babson, and the topic for today's class -- in a couple of hours, actually -- is prior restraint and sedition. The cases for today are Near v. Minn., NYTimes v. U.S., and Schenck v. U.S. So,this trailer will be a nice intro.
