THE PEOPLE SPEAK
7pm Thursday, Feb. 20
2994 Douglas (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” first published in 1980 and one of the bestselling history books in the United States and “Voices of a People’s History History of the United States”, the primary-source companion to “A People’s of the United States”,... edited with Anthony Arnove.
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 actions of dissent and protest.
