¿Qué significa ser un REVOLUCIONARIO AMERICANO hoy? Grace Lee Boggs, una mujer chino-estadounidense de Detroit, que murió en octubre de 2015 a los 100 años, tiene una visión sorprendente de la revolución. Escritora, activista y filósofa arraigada durante más de 70 años en el movimiento afroamericano, dedicó su vida a una revolución en evolución que abarcaba las contradicciones del pasado de Estados Unidos y su futuro potencialmente radical. Este documental ganador del Premio Peabody nos sumerge en la práctica de toda la vida de Boggs de encender el diálogo y la acción comunitarios, trabajo que atraviesa los principales movimientos sociales estadounidenses del siglo pasado: desde los derechos laborales hasta los derechos civiles, pasando por el Black Power, el feminismo, el asiático-americano y el medio ambiente. movimientos de justicia y más allá.

Angela Davis, Bill Moyers, Bill Ayers, Ruby Dee y Ossie Davis, Danny Glover, el marido de Boggs, James Boggs, y una gran cantidad de camaradas de Detroit de tres generaciones ayudan a dar forma a esta historia exclusivamente estadounidense. Mientras lucha con un Detroit en transición, las contradicciones de la violencia y la no violencia, Malcolm X y Martin Luther King Jr., las rebeliones de 1967 y nociones no lineales del tiempo y la historia, Boggs emerge con un enfoque que es radical en su simplicidad y claridad: la revolución no es un acto de agresión o simplemente una protesta. La revolución, dice Boggs, tiene que ver con algo más profundo dentro de la experiencia humana: la capacidad de transformarse uno mismo para transformar el mundo. Con más de diez años de realización, esta película interdisciplinaria tiene un gran atractivo.

New York Times
"Change happens slowly. There’s no central source of information about the number of U.S. prisoners held in solitary confinement, but it’s far more than most of us realize. The striking prisoners had an effect, but they didn’t change the entire system. Yet what “The Strike” makes clear is that their collective action didn’t just make an incremental step toward better conditions for prisoners. In the end, it changed the way they saw the world, too."

Variety | By Dennis Harvey
“A strong case for human contact as essential to human existence.”

POV Magazine | By Liam Lacey
"The strength of Strike comes from the first-person accounts that humanize the participants—both the prisoners who speak candidly about the psychological damage of prolonged seclusion, and the officials who describe how they attempted to improve a dysfunctional organizational culture."

Laila Aziz, Community Organizer
"One of the most important pieces created in our movement.”

UCLA School of Law | Sharon Dolovich, Professor of Law
“It is hard to overstate how impactful and illuminating the event was for students."

Audience Member
“This film both broke and restored my faith in humanity all at once.”

LA Elements | Elva Zevallos
"The Strike succeeds in delivering an impact to the viewer that is powerfully emotional."

Keith Loves Movies | Pedro Lima
"It is an impactful film about human rights and the power of solidarity."

SK on Movies | By Sean Patrick Kelly
"One can only mention the mental toll it takes to spend years, let alone decades, in solitary confinement, where the prisoners resign themselves to death in a concrete box. This probably helps to make The Strike an inspirational story, as the prisoners within the Pelican Bay SHU decided to do something about their situation. The end result is a documentary worth checking out."

Set the Bar | Robert K Stephen (CSW)
"A fascinating study of the debilitating effects of solitary confinement in the prison system and the political football game played by California politicians and CDC bureaucrats."

Unseen Films | Steve Kopian
"No matter where you stand on criminal justice you need to see this film because it makes the discussion one you can relate to on a personal level."
