Just Do It: A Tale of Modern-Day Outlaws (2011) Directed by Emily James
Sunday - March 17 - 6:30 p.m. For one year, director Emily James embedded herself in UK activist groups such as Climate Camp and Plane Stupid in order to document their clandestine actions. Her work introduces a powerful cast of mischievous and moving characters who put their bodies in the way; they super-glue themselves to bank trading floors, blockade factories, and attack coal power stations en-masse. With unprecedented access, James’ documentary gives audiences a rare look behind the scenes of a radical community of people who refuse to sit back and allow Capitalism to destroy our planet. (Digital presentation. 90 min. Not rated.)
From the historic Labor, Anti-War and Civil Rights Movements to the contemporary mass-resistance against austerity, globalization and climate change, both activists and academic historians have long understood the utility of direct action in times of struggle. This series aims to open more channels of examination, discussion, and critique of direct action within a university setting. The series is co-sponsored by IU’s International Studies Program, Departments of Criminal Justice and Labor Studies, and IU Cinema. Special thanks to Bradley Stroot. Screenings are free, but ticketed.
Pickaxe: The Cascadia Free State Story (1999)
Directed by Tim Lewis and Tim Ream Sunday - March 24 - 6:30 p.m. Pickaxe documents the struggle to halt logging at Warner Creek, a federally protected forest in Oregon. Following a suspicious fire in 1991 that cleared the land, Congress suspended environmental regulations to allow logging in the area. Since arson was determined to be the cause of the fire, however, activists argued that logging at Warner Creek was illegal and should be resisted with radical direct action. What followed was an 11-month battle complete with a 79-day hunger strike and a remarkable blockade of a remote logging road. (Digital presentation. 93 min. Not rated.)
The Chicago Conspiracy (2011)
Directed by Subversive Action Films Sunday - April 7 - 6:30 p.m. This documentary addresses the legacy of USsponsored neoliberalism in Chile by sharing the story of combatant youth who were killed by the Pinochet regime and the past and present social conflict that arose from the repressive government. The larger story weaves together three shorter pieces which explore the militant student movement, the history of neighborhoods that became centers of armed resistance against the dictatorship, and the indigenous Mapuche resistance. The filmmakers, radical film collective Subversive Action Films, question their place as documentarians of the conflict. (Digital presentation. 94 min. Not rated.)
