Radical Film Night
January 10, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm PST
We (The Campbell Club) have been hosting a bi-weekly showing of historical and politically charged documentaries to educate the community about important issues and bring activists together for a few hours. This week it’s American Drug War: The Last White Hope (2007). Film starts at 7:45, feel free to drop by and come join us at any point, it’s a long one this time. I will do my best to have vegan popcorn and some refreshments out.
Also feel free to come by and plug your local activist group, and bring handbills/propaganda with you to share, folks are also welcome to hang around and network with one another before or after the film
Film Description: Inspired by the death of four family members from “legal drugs” Texas filmmaker Kevin Booth sets out to discover why the Drug War has become such a big failure.
Three and a half years in the making the film follows gang members, former DEA agents, CIA officers, narcotics officers, judges, politicians, prisoners and celebrities.
Most notably the film befriends Freeway Ricky Ross; the man many accuse for starting the Crack epidemic, who after being arrested discovered that his cocaine source had been working for the CIA.
