--Join us for our Jan. 2024 business meeting, followed by the dramatic film "How to Blow Up a Pipeline, " and discussion.
--The venue is the South Waco Library, 2737 S. 18th. St., Waco 76706. The entrance to the meeting room is on the left side of the front library lobby.
--"How to Blow Up a Pipeline" is a 2022 American action-thriller film directed by Daniel Goldhaber, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ariela Barer and Jordan Sjol. It relies on ideas advanced in Andreas Malm's 2021 book of the same name, published by Verso Books.
--This meeting is our first session to screen a fictional film. However, this controversial film is intense, exciting and engaging, and will stimulate discussion on two important areas. First, it raises the question of the morality of the tactic of property damage to address an existential problem (climate change). The U.S. tea party activists were considered terrorists in their time and are considered heroes now. Second, the issue of the recent severe crackdown on protests at so called "critical infrastructure," the oil refineries and pipelines, in the U.S. and Europe.
--This movie is spell-binding and enjoyable to view, and touches vital areas for discussion. This event will be well worth your time.
--The film received 16 award nominations. It gathered 4 wins: the 2022 Hamburg Film Festival Political Science Award, the 2022 Leiden International Film Festival Alexander Mouret Award, the 2023 ReFrame ReFrame Stamp Feature, the 2023 Winner of the Guardian's Best Films.
--The business session will include discussion of the Earth Day Carbon Sink (Seedling) Giveaway at the Downtown Farmers Market, and response to the genocide in Gaza.
--Vegan refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages provided by FOC and our members.
--If transportation to the event is needed, text 254 744 1682.
--Everything is FREE and all are welcome.
