Seattle-based Left wing "Urban Guerilla" group known as the George Jackson Brigade. While illuminating the genesis of the group in the post-Attica Prisoner’s Rights movement and chronicling its activities during its mid-1970s heyday, the film is grounded in
a depiction of the contemporary lives of three surviving Brigade members, representing the collaborative process and intimate relationships that constitute the act of creation. In addition to the screening, Dr. Johnston will reflect on a turn in his approach
to documentary creation with this project, towards a practice based in established long-term relationships with collaborators, cultivated through acts of mutual care that transcend the production process.</span><br>
