“In an era of widespread cynicism and polarization, it’s a courageously intimate examination of what it means to lead a life with purpose.” The Philadelphia Film Society
This fascinating and inspirational documentary tracks the life and work of Philly-based Quaker activist George Lakey, whose message of nonviolent social change remains more vital and resonant than ever. Since his youth, Lakey has possessed a deep concern for the well-being of others and a commitment to bettering the world, and this dedication has remained steadfast throughout the decades. From protesting against war and corporations that are polluting the environment, Lakey has lent his rebellious spirit to some of the most consequential causes of the last half century. Donations will be gratefully accepted for this service work program, but there is no set fee to attend. All are welcome.
