Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Not Going Quietly in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded conversation with director/writer/executive producer and Film Independent Fellow Nicholas Bruckman (Fast Track 2019; Grants & Awards 2010; Producing Lab 2010, 2013), producer Amanda Roddy, executive producers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass, and featured subject Ady Barkan, moderated by Josh Welsh (President, Film Independent), is included as part of this screening experience.

A rising star in progressive politics and a new father, 32-year-old Ady Barkan’s life is upended when he is diagnosed with ALS. But after a confrontation with powerful Senator Jeff Flake on an airplane goes viral, catapulting him to national fame, Ady and a motley crew of activists ignite a once-in-a-generation political movement called “Be a Hero.” Together, they barnstorm across the country and empower people to confront their elected officials with emotional, personal stories to demand healthcare justice and Ady holds groundbreaking interviews with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. As Ady rises to become Politico’s “Most Powerful Activist in America,” he discovers that collective action and speaking truth to power offers hope for his family and millions of others.

From People’s Television, Not Going Quietly is available On Demand, Digital and DVD.
