Bringing Down a Dictator

presented by 50501 Renegade Film Club

Thursday, August 14 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM

In the year 2000, in a war barely noticed outside Yugoslavia, the indicted war criminal Slobodan Milosevic fought to hold power. He controlled a battle-hardened army, a tough police force, and most of the news media. But he underestimated his opponents, led by a student movement called Otpor! (‘resistance’), who attacked the regime with ridicule, rock music, and a willingness to be arrested. Their courage and audacity inspired others to overcome their fear and join the fight.

This is the first in a series of free documentary screenings open to the public. The film runs 56 minutes then we will have time for discussion, and voting on the next film and meeting time.

Feel free to bring dinner or snacks and your own comfy seats although we do have chairs. No registration required.
