DESCRIPTION:Free film screening the 4th Tuesday of each month.\n\nWisconsin Rising 
 documents the largest sustained workers' resistance movement in American 
 history. Wisconsin was a testing ground for the nation in 2011 as big money 
 attempted to undo basic workers' rights when newly-elected Republican 
 Governor Scott Walker suddenly stripped collective bargaining power from 
 the state's public employees.\n\nWisconsin Rising catapults the viewer into 
 the days, weeks, and months when Wisconsinites fought back against power, 
 authority, and injustice. Happening months before the Occupy movement, 
 Wisconsinites spontaneously occupied their state Capitol for weeks as never 
 before seen in American History.\n\nAs the story unfolds, democracy itself 
 is at stake. The government in Wisconsin looks like a circus, as 
 Republicans invent new laws daily, restricting citizens'—and even elected 
 officials'—access to the State House. Our cameras are rolling on March 
 9th, 2011, when Republican Senators attempt to vote on the bill with no 
 public notice as over 10,000 people pour into the Capitol, occupying its 
 halls overnight. Dramatic footage shows Republican Senators fleeing the 
 state capitol on a secret shuttle as thousands of Wisconsinites fill the 
 State House and Capitol grounds in protest.\n\nCollecting more than one 
 million signatures, the people attempt to oust Scott Walker in a recall 
 election. He is only the third governor in American history to face a 
 recall election and is the first to survive.\n\nWhat will the people of 
 Wisconsin do in the face of these perceived injustices? How will the 
 citizens rebuild and reorganize, and what can the rest of America learn 
 from their actions?\n
