Timely and relevant

Cinequest in San Jose gave it Best Documentary for good reason.

American Agitators is the film we need right now to remind us that regular people have the power to make change. Fred Ross is an unsung hero in American activism, and I'm glad to see his story resurrected just when we need it.

The score is terrific, and the interviews include historical icons, major political figures, and storytellers across generations. I left the movie inspired, which is a feeling that's darned hard to find right now. To quote Mr Ross, "Organizing isn' t a job done once and done with. If organizers don't renew their efforts every day of their lives, then only the grasping and greedy people remain active."
