Film Showing and SpeakerTHE BERRIGANS:
DEVOUT AND DANGEROUS
Speaker after film w/Q&A Frida Berrigan
The film tells the story of an American family who made the FBI’s Most Wanted List in 1970 for their opposition to the Vietnam War — and continued resistance to US war making for the next 50+ years.
The Berrigan brothers, Philip and Daniel, both Catholic priests, and Philip’s wife, Liz, a former nun — spent their entire lives engaged in faith-based, nonviolent resistance to war, racism, nuclear proliferation, and the Catholic Church. Named America’s “Most Wanted” fugitives by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, they were the “influencers” of the day, not only spreading the gospel of nonviolence in pulpits worldwide, but appearing on talk shows, in rock lyrics, and on magazine covers.
Told through the perspective of the next-gen Berrigans, THE BERRIGANS: DEVOUT AND DANGEROUS uses live footage of demonstrations and nonviolent actions, archival footage, and interviews with an impressive host of notable figures the Berrigans inspired to make the point that nonviolent direct action is as relevant today as it was in the past.
SPEAKER: Frida Berrigan, daughter of Phil Berrigan and Elizabeth McAlister. Frida is the author of the book, It Runs in the Family:On Being Raised by Radicals and Growing into Rebellious Motherhood
