movie night: Shock Doctrine

​How do those in power turn crises into opportunities to push through policies that would never be accepted in normal times? The Shock Doctrine, based on Naomi Klein’s groundbreaking book, exposes the mechanics of “disaster capitalism” and how shock, fear, and trauma are weaponized to advance privatization, austerity, and corporate control.

​This isn’t just history—it’s a playbook still being used today. From wars and economic collapse to climate disasters and pandemics, we see the same tactics repeating: communities disoriented, rights rolled back, wealth funneled upward.

​We’ll gather to watch, learn, and connect. After the screening, we’ll open the space for discussion.
