About this event

In the US, the Conservative Movement has consolidated power in a way that dominates political and public life. It is the largest social movement this country has seen in years. You might think you know them, but who are they, really? What are the big ideas that animate their movement? What are they working towards? Are there points of alignment with the left?

Join a conversation with artist and filmmaker Michael Premo, whose recent film Homegrown closely follows three conservative activists. This gathering will be an opportunity to learn from their expertise, ask questions, and engage in group discussion.

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"
