As we prepare for challenging days ahead, join us to draw inspiration (and new ideas) from the stories of popular peoples’ movements from around the world and across time. Each Thursday evening at 8pm we’ll gather at the Movement Infrastructure Project (33 Grant Circle) to watch a different social movement film. 

We plan to screen a wide range of films including documentaries, blockbuster dramas, stories about struggles in a different time and place, and accounts of contemporary social movements. We’ve picked the first two films to kick off the series; after that we’ll curate the series as a group, picking a new film to add to the schedule at each screening.  

Thursday, February 13 at 8pm at the Movement Infrastructure Project (33 Grant Circle, NW)

This week’s movie:

A Force More Powerful

A Force More Powerful is a 1999 feature-length documentary film and a 2000 PBS series written and directed by Steve York about nonviolent resistance movements around the world

We’ll be screening segments on Danish resistance to Nazi Occupation and the Chilean democracy movement to oust Augusto Pinochet.

DISCUSSION:

Following the movie we’ll be joined by Nadine Bloch from Beautiful Trouble and Ivan Marovic from the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict for a discussion on resisting autoritarinism in the current moment

This screening is free and open to anyone but PLEASE RSVP so we can know how many people to expect! 

You’re welcome to bring snacks or drinks for yourself or to share. 

And, of course, the Movement Infrastructure Project is an all volunteer initiative and we rely on donations from supporters like you to keep the lights on, so if you’re able, please consider making a donation to support our work!
