SUMMARY:Gaza Fights for Freedom - Movie at Northwest Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:Gaza Fights for Freedom\nThis debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine\, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the film through the blockade. \nThis collaboration shows you Gaza’s protest movement like you’ve never seen before. Filmed during the height of the Great March of Return protests\, it features exclusive footage of demonstrations where 200 unarmed civilians have been killed by Israeli snipers since March 30\, 2018. \nThe documentary tells the story of Gaza past and present\, showing rare archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass media. Victims are heard from the ongoing massacre\, including journalists\, medics and the family of internationally-acclaimed paramedic\, Razan al-Najjar.

SUMMARY:What is Democracy? - Northwest Film Forum
DESCRIPTION:Film: What is Democracy?\n\n** Co-presented with Town Hall Seattle! ** \nComing at a moment of profound political and social crisis\, What Is Democracy? reflects on a word we too often take for granted. Director Astra Taylor’s idiosyncratic\, philosophical journey spans millennia and continents: from ancient Athens’ groundbreaking experiment in self-government to capitalism’s roots in medieval Italy; from modern-day Greece grappling with financial collapse and a mounting refugee crisis to the United States reckoning with its racist past and the growing gap between rich and poor. \nFeaturing a diverse cast —including celebrated theorists\, trauma surgeons\, activists\, factory workers\, asylum seekers\, and former prime ministers—this urgent film connects the past and the present\, the emotional and the intellectual\, the personal and the political\, in order to provoke and inspire. If we want to live in democracy\, we must first ask what the word even means. From the director of Zizek! and Examined Life. \n\n
