Such a list could be a good basis for a film series at a place like the PFA, as an antidote to the incoming Trump regime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847533854297507334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531345904528580427.post-68091877024902708052016-12-05T16:26:10.697-08:002016-12-05T16:26:10.697-08:00Lawrence, thanks for chiming in.

Have you seen other films about mass protest worth seeking out in this political climate? I can't think of one better than <b><i>How to Survive a Plague</i></b> off the top of my head, but I recently caught up with <b><i>The Square</i></b>, which was definitely worthwhile.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531345904528580427.post-79574408733323346222016-12-05T15:49:53.576-08:002016-12-05T15:49:53.576-08:00Hi Brian: I was very moved by How To Survive A Pla...Hi Brian: I was very moved by How To Survive A Plague, when I saw it several years back on one of my Calgary trips. It is an inspiring example of how we must not depend on so-called leaders (whether Obama or Trump) to do things for us, but how instead we need to get together, stand up, and make actions for ourselves.Would the Army Corps of Engineers have done anything about Dakota Access if it hadn't been for the courageous demonstrators?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847533854297507334noreply@blogger.com
