Projection de film & discussion sur "The Spook Who Sat By the Door"

“The Spook Who Sat by the Door” (1973) raconte l'histoire d'un homme noir
engagé par la C.I.A. grâce à la discrimination positive. Il démissionne et
devient un leader révolutionnaire. Il aide à organiser les gens de sa
communauté et vole des armes. Il tente de mener une guerre raciale ayant
pour but l'élimination de la suprématie de la race blanche.
Le film fut interdit dès sa sortie à cause de son contenu révolutionnaire,
jusqu'en 2004.

Après la projection, nous tenterons d'avoir une discussion sur le concept
de race, la suprématie blanche et les luttes révolutionnaires. (Film en
Englais)

Film Screening & Discussion of "The Spook Who Sat By the Door"

"The Spook Who Sat by the Door" (1973) is the story of a black man hired
as a token minority employee for the CIA who quits his menial gig to
become a revolutionary leader. He helps organize young people in his
community, steals weapons, and attempts to start a race war in order to
topple the white supremacy in the US. The film was banned right after its
release due to its revolutionary content and could not be found until
2004.

We will try to have a discussion after the film about race, white
supremacy and revolutionary struggles. (Film in English)
