Greenfield Garden Cinemas (361 Main St, Greenfield, MA 01301, Greenfield MA)

a free screening of the documentary Join or Die, a film about why you should join a club-and why the fate of America depends on it. Q&A with the director via Zoom immediately after! Follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars- from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty and Priya Parker-as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it? RSVP strongly encouraged.
