Social Justice Film Night presents:
THE PEOPLE SPEAK
7pm Thursday, Feb. 202994 Douglas St. (BCGEU Hall), Victoria
Co-directed by Chris Moore, Anthony Arnove, and Howard Zinn
A beautiful and moving film inspired by Howard Zinn’s books “A People s History of the United States” and “Voices of a People’s History of the United States”.
The film features the actual words (in letters, songs, poems, speeches, and manifestoes) of rebels, dissenters, and visionaries from our past and present including Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Bob Dylan, Langston Hughes, Chief Joseph, Muhammad Ali, and unknown veterans, union workers, abolitionists, and many others never featured in high school textbooks. These dramatic moments from our history are brought to life by a group of remarkable musicians and actors.
Like Howard Zinn’s work as a whole, THE PEOPLE SPEAK celebrates the extraordinary possibilities for creating social change that ordinary people have realized throughout the course... of our history’s rich but often ignored history of dissent and protest.
Social Justice Film Night is on the 3rd Thursday of every month.Sponsored by the Victoria Friends of Cubahttp://victoriafriendsofcuba.wordpress.com/
