InterRebellium Film Screening
In partnership with Blue Ridge Anarchist Black Cross, we're screening the first of a multipart documentary series, InterRebellium. Come for the 90-minute screening and stick around for a discussion afterwards!
Part 1, "The Estallido Social" is a story told through the eyes of anarchist and anticolonial participants of the 2019 uprising in the territories occupied by the state of Chile. The Estallido Social (or Social Explosion) was a popular uprising in the territories occupied by the Chilean state, sparked on October 18th 2019. What began with a student-led campaign of transit fare evasions quickly spread into a nationwide uprising that shook society to its very foundations. InterRebellium will cover the global wave of revolts from 2018-2020. The title is from Latin for “between uprisings.” We believe it is important to take this time between waves to relate our experiences on a worldwide scale, to study the last one so that we are better prepared for the next one.
Blue Ridge Anarchist Black Cross (BRABC) is a collective of anarchists who believe that jails and prisons, rather than offering a solution to the harms people commit against themselves and their communities, instead make social problems worse. They are a prison abolitionist organization, which is to say they are part of a wider movement working towards an end of incarceration and the creation of alternative, transformative forms of justice in our society. https://brabc.blackblogs.org
subMedia is a digital media collective with members spread across the stolen lands of the so-called Americas. First established in 1994 as Subversive Media, over the decades they've grown from a humble video projection outfit into one of the most prolific producers of anarchist, anti-capitalist and anti-colonial propaganda in the world. https://sub.media
