“THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL FILM OF THE YEAR, AND IT MAY PROVE TO BE ONE OF THE KEY POLITICAL FILMS OF THE DECADE.” – Variety

Tuesday, June 4 from 7-9 PM

Join Whites for Racial Equity and the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula for a free showing of the documentary Slay the Dragon at 490 Aguajito Rd., Carmel.

“Slay the Dragon” is an incisively made and morally suspenseful film, at once chilling and stirring. It deals with gerrymandering on a human level — as the endgame in the fight for democracy — and it shows us what the resistance to it now looks like: a bunch of ordinary citizens, with no power beyond what the Constitution gave them, building the crusade for voter rights into the ultimate liberal holy war.

As a documentary, “Slay the Dragon” has the power to galvanize audiences by planting this issue on the map in a bold new way. The movie makes you see how the fight over gerrymandering is an essential battle for the American system. It’s a fight for the very shape of freedom.

Discussion will follow the film showing.
