Ady Barkan, joined by a motley crew of activists, launched the “Be a Hero” campaign to replace the politicians who voted to take away health care. They barnstorm AND cross-country in an RV, inspiring the most unlikely political movement in a generation. Through the journey we get a look behind-the-scenes into what it takes to build a movement and the power of personal storytelling as a tool for change. Ady’s story urges us to ask ourselves what kind of mark we want to make on our society, and what we are willing to give to achieve it. Ady will introduce the preview the upcoming film “Not Going Quietly’ and be in conversation with the filmmakers Nicholas Bruckman, Director and Amanda Roddy, Producer.
