On February 5, we will be cohosting a screening of the powerful documentary Homegrown at NYU. The film follows “a father-to-be in New Jersey, an Air Force veteran in New York City, and a charismatic activist from Texas crisscrossing the country during a period of profound national fracture from the summer of 2020 through the spring of 2025. As the country accelerates toward political crisis, we witness democratic norms crumbling not through a single event, but from hundreds of personal choices made by ordinary people. What begins as activism quickly escalates as three conservatives join a widening conflict over identity, power, and the future of American democracy.”
Come early for an optional pre-screening workshop at 5pm on the conservative movement. The film will also be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Micahel Premo and Rachel Falcone. The screening is co-hosted by NYU’s Urban Democracy Lab, Center on Race, Inequality and the Law, and the Initiative for Community Power.
5pm–5:45pm Pre-Screening workshop "Understanding Conservatism"
