Last month, we co-sponsored and attended the Atlanta premiere of “A City in the Forest” @acityintheforest, an emotionally stirring documentary co-directed by Lev Omelchenko @lev.omel and Nolan Huber @revsouthnolan chronicling the Stop Cop City movement from its inception.
Afterwards, we tabled at the afterparty at the @supermarket.atl and got a chance to view the art exhibition accompanying the film. Being surrounded by so many people who believe that another world is possible—a world without cages—filled us with much-needed optimism. The moving images and art moved us deeply. If this film comes to your city, we highly encourage you to see it! #VivaTortuguita [Image 1: Marquee at the Plaza Theatre that reads, “A City in the Forest.” Image 2: Inside the theater before the documentary began.
