Acasa, My Home (2020)
Available on Amazon Prime ($4.99)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.a2bbdaac-8f95-db60-6b4b-722a4d2c9e31?autoplay=1&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb

Acasa, My Home (2020) is a drama about a tug of war between nature, civilization, and displacement, and may be a nice transition from Nomadland.

Latcho Drom (1993)
Available on YouTube (free)
https://www.romarchive.eu/en/collection/latcho-drom-1/

Latcho Drom (1993) is a lovely, colorful documentary almost exclusively of Roma music and dance stretching from India through Western Europe.

Let’s meet Friday, June 25th at 5pm on zoom. Our guest is Sonia Skindrud, who worked with the Open Society Foundations, often in Eastern Europe, for nearly a decade in the late 1990s early 2000s. Sonya wrote her Master’s thesis (Columbia University, Teacher’s College) on Roma access to education. She will provide opening remarks on the topic to start the conversation.

Join us for what we know will be a rich conversation about nomadism and the traditionally nomadic Romani peoples.

DORR’s political film club is hosted by Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Frankie Riemer (Professor). To sign up, send an email to [email protected] and ask for the Zoom invitation. If you signed up for any of our previous films, your name is already on our list for the invite.

We’ll send a zoom invite a few days before the discussion. Just watch the film/s before we meet, grab something to eat and drink, and be ready to discuss!

DORR Film Club @ Zoom Event
Aug 20 @ 5:00 pm

Capital in the Twenty-First Century
Available on Netflix
https://www.netflix.com/title/81239470

After several films about nomadic life (i.e. Nomadland, Acasa My Home/ Latcho Drom), we thought we might take a look at what folks are rejecting. And what better than the documentary about capitalism based on Thomas Piketty’s best selling book?

Piketty, “a French academic, is not only a brilliant economist but also one with a gift for making complicated ideas accessible,” wrote Ben Kenigsberg, in The New York Times. In the documentary, Piketty and guests give a historical context on unchecked capitalism, and discuss wealth, poverty, and power in capitalist societies. To quote Simran Hans of the Guardian, they show how tenets of capitalism were “packaged and sold to the middle classes as a social leveller destined to improve the quality of life for all,” a belief that is becoming suspect in these times of vast wealth inequality.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/sep/27/capital-in-the-twenty-first-century-review-justin-pemberton-thomas-piketty
Let’s meet August 20, 2021 at 5:00pm (AZ) on zoom. Just watch the film before we meet, grab something to eat and drink, and be ready to discuss! We look forward to a dynamic conversation on the acquisition of capital, the growing wealth gap, and-to harken back to our last films–the acceptance (or rejection) of settled ways of life and commercial, consumerist values. We’ll send the Zoom invitation a few days before our discussion.

DORR’s political film club is hosted by Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Frankie Riemer (Professor). To sign up, send an email to [email protected] and ask for the Zoom invitation. If you signed up for any of our previous films, your name is already on our list for the invite.
