DESCRIPTION:Hey Trouble-Makers!\n\nWant a nice relaxing evening  after all the hubbub 
 of Occupying Wells Fargo on April 24th? Hang out with friends and comrades 
 watching a new movie about direct action to stop climate change with 
 snacks, drinks and lively conversation? \n\nRising Tide North America is 
 excited to host director Emily James and screen her new film Just Do It on 
 April 25th at the New Nothing Cinema, San Francisco. Just Do It is a new 
 film detailing the inside story of actions in the U.K. 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. Synopsys below.\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 its director Emily James.\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\n
