DESCRIPTION:Film Screening:"Just Do It- a tale of modern-day outlaws" with director 
 Emily James\n\nFrom Tim DeChristopher's derailing of a federal land auction 
 in Utah to the Tar Sands Action in Washington D.C. to Rising Tide chapters 
 fighting fracking, coal and tar sands across the U.S., direct action in the 
 climate movements is spreading throughout the continent. \n\nNow a new film 
 detailing the inside story of similar actions in the U.K. is touring the 
 U.S. Over the course of one eventful year, director Emily James gained 
 access to a group of environmental activists using non-violent direct 
 action in the UK climate movement. They blockade factories, attack coal 
 power stations and glue themselves to the trading floors of international 
 banks, despite the very real threat of arrest.\n\nNow in San Francisco, 
 Rising Tide North America is delighted to host, with the New Nothing 
 Cinema, "Just Do It- a tale of modern-day outlaws" and it's director Emily 
 James. Discussion following the screening with director Emily

 \n\n---------------------------\n\nJust Do It - a tale of modern-day 
 outlaws\n\nFor one eventful year, Emily James gained unprecedented access 
 to film a group of environmental activists seeking results through 
 nonviolent ‘direct action’ campaigns across England. Embedded in the 
 activists’ clandestine activities, Emily captured the triumphs, setbacks, 
 secret planning sessions, and feverish passion of a group of animated, 
 engaging characters. They blockade factories, attack coal power stations 
 and glue themselves to the trading floors of international banks, despite 
 the very real threat of arrest.\n\nMeet Marina, whose enthusiasm for her 
 cause is infectious as she solves the world’s major problems one cup of 
 tea at a time; Sally, Cambridge student and budding activist sees mass 
 civil disobedience as her contribution to prove that the laws are unjust; 
 Sophie, the artist activist, is committed to turning the tired political 
 system on its head by starting her own political party and live art 
 project; Rowan takes control of his life by taking on capitalism via direct 
 action protests at coal plants, airports, the Copenhagen Climate Summit and 
 the climate camp at London’s G20 summit, and Lily, the UK’s ‘Green 
 Campaigner of the Year’, whose grassroots resistance takes her into local 
 communities to empower and educate.\n\nThe secret direct action captured in 
 Just Do It has now gone mainstream with the thousands who have joined and 
 created their own local Occupy movements. It is everyday people, citizens 
 of the world who are fed up with critical situations that are stepping up 
 to make real change happen through the coordination of non-violent direct 
 actions and self-managed alternatives.\n\nJust Do It aims to give all who 
 partake or flirt with the idea of civil disobedience an accessible tool to 
 infect and inform others. \n\nLet us help you find your inner outlaw. 
 \n------------------------------------\nThis event is organized by Rising 
 Tide North America. Rising Tide North America is an all volunteer climate 
 justice network with over 50 chapters and local contacts that works to 
 confront the root causes of climate change.\n
