Transformative Justice Movie Night: Attack the Block!
ATTACK THE BLOCK!
Imagine Goonies vs Monster Squad set in the PJs of London. Attack The Block won a ton of awards when it came out in 2011, and even inspired a mixtape by Talib Kweli... but virtually no one has seen it. So in the spirit of Halloween, we're screening this British sci-fi / monster movie where the young folks in hoodies are the heroes!
And stick around for a participatory talkback / Transformative Justice REMIX discussion with special guest Mimi Kim of Creative Interventions, along with members of Audre Lorde Project's Safe OUTside the System Collective, New York City Anti-Violence Project, Catalyst for Community Healing, and the Challenging Male Supremacy Project.
