Rebel Diaz Presents: The Mike Brown Rebellion

Following the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Rebel Diaz with the Ñ Don't Stop crew has documented the people's demand for justice, the militarization and repression by the State, and the responses to the verdict of no indictment of officer Darren Wilson. With interviews of young leaders on the front lines in the Ferguson and footage of the demonstrations, this documentary has been created as a tool for education and starting discussions around policing, militarization, resistance and organizing in communities.

Join the Harlem community for a screening of The Mike Brown Rebellion and the discussion that follows. We will speak on the national illness of police brutality, #EricGarner and next steps in organizing and mobilizing in New York City.

Limited space. To RSVP groups, email: education@maysles.org
