Small Signs: A Protest In Flagstaff, Arizona

Last summer there were over 50 marches, actions, and demonstrations in Flagstaff, Arizona sparked as elsewhere in the country by the death last summer of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Documentarian Levi Stallings spent hours taking and compiling video from the Flagstaff actions and sit down conversations with residents from all walks of life.

“Years of Repair”: video

The film— entitled "Message from the Future II: The Years of Repair"— is a sequel to last year's "A Message from the Future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez" and runs with the idea that the year 2020 became an "historic turning point" for the world, one in which "the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic and global uprisings against racism drive us to build back a better society in which no one is sacrificed, and everyone is essential."

“Can you remember who you were,
before the world told you who
you should be.”
–Charles Bukowski

Be your life

“Your life is your life. Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. Be on the watch. There are ways out. There is light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness. Be on the watch. The gods will offer you chances. Know them. Take them. You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. And the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. Your life is your life. Know it while you have it. You are marvelous. The gods wait to delight in you.”
Charles Bukowski
