Join or Die: Free Film Screening and Director Q&A

In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis.

Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?

The All Service Clubs organization is hosting a free special event and film screening at Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston on Tuesday, October 29th beginning at 5 PM. The event is open to the public and all are welcome to attend. The night will kick-off with tabling and information on joining local clubs, followed by a 6 PM screening of Join or Die, and conclude with a question-and-answer session by filmmakers Rebecca and Pete Davis. This event is brought to you with support from NoVo in Kingston.
