Spring 2019 Metanoia Event:
Divided We Fall: Film Screening and Discussion
Wednesday, April 3 from 6-8:30pm, Video Theater 1, Homer Babbidge Library
Please join the Graduate Employee Union (GEU) for a screening of the 2018 documentary
Divided We Fall, followed by a facilitated group discussion.
Divided We Fall chronicles the resistance against Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s anti-labor and austerity agenda (Act 10) in 2011. Composed of footage from the month-long occupation of the state Capitol building that occurred in February to March of 2011 and interviews with protesters (many of whom were graduate students), scholars, and labor organizers, the documentary illuminates the successes of collective action, but also the fractures between groups that led to a breakdown of collective solidarity and power. GEU members will facilitate a critical discussion after the film, with a particular focus on lessons that students and academic workers can take from the 2011 protest movement in Wisconsin and apply to our own organizing efforts and direct actions. We hope to see you there! An RSVP email to
