ARRESTED (AGAIN)
Documentary, Short
5 min (USA, 2017)
Director: Dan Goldes
Producers: Dan Goldes
Cast: Karen Topakian
Activist Karen Topakian has been arrested dozens of times for using nonviolent civil disobedience to protest nuclear proliferation, human rights abuses, environmental issues, and war. What drives her to repeatedly put her body on the line? In turn lighthearted and moving, Karen’s story speaks to the need for Americans, now more than ever, to exercise this important First Amendment right.
