The film will be followed by a rare Q&A with some of the amazing people featured in the film, including Marc Kasky, whose fight against Nike went all the way to the Supreme Court, and Jan Edwards, whose group helped their town of Point Arena, CA pass a resolution abolishing corporate personhood. It's sure to be a great night.
