Solidarity Film Series Spring 2008 Screening of Film on Howard Zinn: May 31 The final film showing in the Solidarity Committee's 2007-2008 film series will occur on Saturday, May 31, at 7:00 PM, with the screening of "Howard Zinn: You Can't be Neutral on a Moving Train" (2004, 78 minutes). Exploring the turbulent life and times of this prominent political activist, historian, and author of "A People's History of the United States," this stirring documentary provides a vivid panorama of social protest over the past half-century. It ranges from Zinn's early days as a shipyard labor organizer, through the battle for civil rights, to the struggle for a peaceful world. Based on rare archival footage, the film includes scenes featuring Zinn, Daniel Berrigan, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Tom Hayden, and Alice Walker. It is narrated by actor Matt Damon, with music by Woody Guthrie, Pearl Jam, and Billy Bragg. This film is being shown at the Social Justice Center, 33 Central Avenue, in downtown Albany.
