Exciting #research!

On Friday April 25th we’ll host a screening of the documentary “Fell in Love with Fire,” about the Chilean uprising that began in 2019. We’ll pass the hat to benefit Chilean compa Mónica Caballero, if you care to contribute, and remember our comrade — filmmaker Murphy Hoopes.
Five years in the making, this hour-long film documents the uprising that swept Chile from October 2019 to March 2020, showing how everyday people sustained six months of rebellion by creating extensive networks of self-determination and mutual aid.
This is an inspiring portrayal of the tactics that gave demonstrators control of the streets, the organizing strategies that enabled the movement to act effectively while remaining leaderless, and the importance of time and space in revolt. It is also a cautionary tale about how the government used the promise of a new constitutional process to recover enough legitimacy to regain control. It’s a high point of action in a struggle that continues today.
