DETAILS ABOUT THE SCREENING( MAIN EVENT):
PORTLAND, Oregon - The Eco Film Festival and the Hollywood Theater, sponsored by Afro Village PDX, are screening a documentary by Mia Donovan titled DOPE IS DEATH on May 12th at 2 pm. Tickets are now on sale at $5 or $9 .
PURCHASE TICKETS @ https://hollywoodtheatre.org/tickets/25142/.
In 1973, Dr. Mutulu Shakur, along with fellow Black Panthers and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America. DOPE IS DEATH explores how this form of radical harm reduction was a revolutionary act toward the government programs that transfixed the lives of black and brown communities throughout the South Bronx. There is much to learn from these accomplishments: lessons which promise to inspire generations of activists, ecologists, and all of those who are determined to serve their communities.
A community conversation with special guests from the film follows the screening including Mia Donovan and Juan Cortez, a holistic health specialist in New York. More events with the guests may be planned on or around May 12th and will be listed on Afro Village PDX’s website.
This event is a part of the The Portland EcoFilm Festival , the premier ecological film festival in the US Pacific Northwest. Every year they showcase some of the world’s best new films about nature and ecology, environmental justice, frontline communities, conservation, and outdoor pursuits. Their mission is to utilize the art of cinema to create a more inspired, active, empowered, diverse, and connected community of environmental advocates and ecologically minded people. The Festival is a signature program of The Hollywood Theatre, Portland, Oregon’s modern-historic nonprofit movie house.
“Ecology” means knowledge of home; The Portland EcoFIlm Festival's Social Ecology Films series explores social aspects of this knowledge.
