Film Screening & Discussion: I, Too with Tony Silberfeld
March 14 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Tuesday, March 14, 5:30–7:30 pm
Join us for a special screening of director Tony Silberfeld’s new documentary, I, Too, followed by a Q&A with Silberfeld himself! You may recognize his name from our event last year featuring his documentary film Uncivil War.
About the Film:
On January 6, 2021, armed insurrectionists besieged the United States Capitol in the name of patriotism. To some, it was an unexpected and shocking attack on democracy. To others, it was a noble attempt to rescue a nation on the brink of collapse. For Carol Anderson, the insurrection was a predictable coda to more than two centuries of American mythology. What happens, she asks, when we discover that the history we teach our children is comprised of fables not facts; when the gulf between soaring rhetoric and cynical policy is too wide to ignore; when white supremacy is allowed to thrive? In I, Too, we embark on a journey to uncover stories that reveal how we reached this inflection point in American history, as we strive to narrow the gap between who we say we are as a nation…and who we actually are. Watch the trailer here and find more information here!
The cash bar will open at 5:30 pm, the film begins at 6:00, and the Q&A goes from 7:00–7:30. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided.
- In-person participation: $20 for members; $25 for non-members
