Democrats Abroad hosts its next “Sunday at the Movies” October 16, 2 p.m. at the American Society (Amsoc). The featured film is “The End of America,” based on Naomi Wolf’s book “The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot.”
In the book Wolf takes a historical look at the rise of fascism, outlining ten steps necessary for a fascist group (or government) to destroy the democratic character of a nation-state and subvert the social/political liberty previously exercised by its citizens.
The documentary by filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern released in 2008 reveals how closely the United States was to following in the footsteps of Hitler and Mussolini in the aftermath of 9/11. This is a timely selection showing some very compelling comparisons with the elections and choices coming up this year.
Bring something to share to eat and a serving utensil as well as a favored beverage. Paper plates, cups, flatware, and napkins will be provided. A donation of 20 pesos is requested for the use the salon and the big screen.
