If a crime is committed in order to prevent a greater crime, is it forgivable? Is it, in fact, necessary?

Extinction Rebellion invites you to join us for THE RELUCTANT RADICAL. This documentary follows activist Ken Ward as he confronts his fears and puts himself in the direct path of the fossil fuel industry to combat climate change. Ken breaks the law as a last resort, to fulfill what he sees as his personal obligation to future generations.

The filmmakers followed Ken for a year and a half through a series of direct actions, culminating with his participation in the coordinated action that shut down all the U.S. tar sands oil pipelines on October 11, 2016.

Director Lindsey Grayzel, co-producer Deia Schlosberg and cinematographer Carl Davis were arrested and charged for filming the activists. Their charges have been dropped, and they have joined forces to tell Ken’s story.

"The most striking environmental documentary I've seen to date - and I have seen plenty. It is an absolute must-see." The Marin Post

"A film that is both a vivid portrait of an activist and an addictive suspense thriller—a Hitchcockian riff on An Inconvenient Truth." The Willamette Week Review

Doors open at 1.30 PM. Free admission. Seating limited.
