There’s never been a better time to host movie nights for family and friends – or just yourself – with an anti-fascist or anti-corporate greed theme. It’s a great way to keep hope alive and get inspiration for resistance.
You don’t have to say what the theme is if you are worried about any consequences! But I’m pretty sure people with catch on…

Also do a search on “anti-racist” films. There are some excellent ones out there.
I would recommend District 9 (2009) but I was completely traumatized by that movie. I’m not sure I have cried so completely and utterly in my life. It was too much for me. But it is absolutely excellent.
What would you add?
