This week on Indy TV, the Barefoot host interviews filmmakers Helia Rasti and Jonathan Stribling-Uss about the movie Shutdown. The two activist - documentarians were in town in July to screen the movie. The event drew an enthusiastic crowd, and generated a lot of thought-provoking discussion.
"SHUTDOWN documents a piece of the continuous struggle towards social justice. Using the March 20, 2003 occupation and disruption of the San Francisco Financial District as a case study, the film casts a thoughtful eye on one of the most successful actions of the current anti-war movement, facilitated by Direct Action to Stop the War (DASW). Created to gain insight, inspire, and draw lessons the movie tells the story of how social justice organizers and everyday people came together to plan and shut down the financial district of a major US city."
