We Cried Power Documentary Screening Selma, AL | We Must Do MORE National Tour
Start: Saturday, February 29, 2020•12:00 PM
End: Saturday, February 29, 2020• 2:00 PM
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
We will gather for lunch and to watch a special 1hr sneak peak screening of "We Cried Power," followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker Dara Kell.
“We Cried Power,” a compelling documentary by filmmaker Dara Kell, tells the story of a bold new social movement to end poverty in the United States. Inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, the original Poor People’s Campaign was Dr. King’s last great work. Today, a revived Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is carrying forward this work demanding an end to poverty, racism, militarization and ecological devastation.
This remarkable sneak preview is an intimate account of a “season of resistance,” told through the eyes of the mothers, veterans, preachers, and students who are the voices and founding members of this new “fusion” movement. The film bears witness to the profound process by which those without power decide not to accept their powerlessness. Instead, they claim – through protest, dance, song, and poems, through testimony and tears – their birthright: to live decent lives in the United States of America. The full length documentary will be released in the spring.
This "sneak preview" screening is about 45 minutes long. After the screening, we will continue with a discussion about the film and the Poor People's Campaign.

This tour will lead into the Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington, where thousands of poor people and moral agents will gather at the nation’s capitol on June 20, 2020 to demonstrate their power.
We will demand the implementation of our Moral Agenda and call all people of conscience to engage in deeply moral civic engagement and voting that cares about poor and low-wealth people, the sick, immigrants, workers, the environment, people with disabilities, first nations, the LGBTQ community, and peace over war.
