About the film:
The late civil rights attorney William Kunstler was one of the most famous and controversial lawyers of the 20th century. He represented civil rights and anti-war activists, as well as accused terrorists and murderers. In William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe, filmmakers Emily and Sarah Kunstler explore their father's life, from middle-class family man, to movement lawyer, to the most hated lawyer in America.
About the evening:
Filmmakers (and sisters) Emily and Sarah Kunstler, joined by NYC activists - some of whom are featured in the film - will be present for an interactive brainstorm. Come prepared to witness the Working Films methodology at work - flying ideas, flip charts, and a commitment to design the bones of a community engagement campaign that will leverage the film's release this fall and offer other cities and communities across the country the chance to link the story and power of William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe to their current struggles for justice.
