    Sedona AZ (April 12, 2014) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present a special Earth Day film premiere event with the one-night-only debut of the award-winning “Rebels With a Cause” on Tuesday, April 22. There will be two shows at 4 and 7 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    A stunningly beautiful documentary narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand, “Rebels With a Cause” spotlights a ragtag group of rebels who fought to keep developers from taking over the breathtaking landscape of the northern California coast and instead established public parks, the first organic dairy west of the Mississippi and the first agricultural land trust in the US.

    “Rebels With a Cause” is an inspiring model illustrating how ordinary citizens and both parties can successfully work together; that different interests and factions can and have found ways to make American politics work. The film celebrates the people and passion that saved the coastal wonders that would become the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. With California’s rapid population rise in the 1950s, the California coast seemed destined to follow the prevalent pattern of suburban development. But, these rebels changed the fate of the land. Their efforts set new precedents for protecting open space and shaped the environmental movement as we know it today.

    “Rebels With a Cause” is the story of the original conservationists, the schemers and dreamers whose efforts proved to California and the whole country that individuals have the power to change the rules.

    “Rebels With a Cause” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Tuesday, April 22 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
