Occupy Phoenixville is expanding into film, launching their own Films For Action chapter representing the Phoenixville area. We're hitting the ground running with two film screenings coming up in January (more details coming soon). Using this website and regular public film screenings, we're aiming to provide our city with a vibrant, independent alternative to the mainstream media.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide Phoenixville citizens with the information and perspectives essential to creating a more just, sustainable, and democratic society.
Along these lines, our website has cataloged over 900 of the best films and videos that can be watched free online, all dedicated to changing the world.
Get Involved:
If you live in the Phoenixville area and would like to get involved in the project, here are several ways you can plug in:
