ATTACK THE BLOCK

From the producers of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Attack the Block follows a gang of tough inner-city kids who try to defend their turf against an invasion of savage alien creatures, turning a South London apartment complex into an extraterrestrial warzone.

“Attack the Block attacks the alien invasion genre with wit, energy and a cheeky insolence that makes it out of this world.” -Tom Long, Detroit News

Excerpt from event host Brian Cristi:
Post Screening Discussion: OU Student Filmmaker and fellow Chicagoan Cedric Simmons will be present to reflect on the film and issues he faces as an African American. I will also answer questions about my attendance of a Socialism conference in Chicago this summer with OU Student Activists. Currently trying to add other pertinent representatives. Black Lives Matter is a very specific movement. It is right to therefore clarify that this film screening was organized inspired prominently by Black Lives Matter along with other movements of social importance. This event is shaping up to be a gateway event. A primer. A first step into a larger arena. The theme of the screening event will revolve around the exploration of Differences. Black Lives Matter, Inequality in Society, Socialism, The Failure of Educational Systems, The Current Presidential Election all of these topics are connected. There is much to reflect on and nothing brings people together like a fun provocative science-fiction film.
