Film Tactics for Organizing Resistance
These films present various frameworks used in resistance movements from non- violent to violent tactics with discussions focused on complicating conversations around state violence, war, revolution, racism, political dissent and more. View the film and stay for a discussion after the film with members from the Cinema Politica Waterloo and local folks doing resistance work.
The Weather Underground
When the Beatles land in America in the early 1960s, young men wearing their hair long strike the nation as an abomination. But within a few years, youthful rebellion grows more severe: Witness the Weathermen, the radical antiwar activists who mobilize (unsuccessfully) to overthrow the U.S. government. With contemporary interviews and archival footage, this documentary elucidates the Weather Underground's controversial history and continuing significance.
