Bending Hell

bending hell is a little documentary about ordinary people who started organizing. created by julie wilson and margaret west, the film tells the story of larry mcknight and autumn vogel’s successful campaign for meadville city council. bending hell is organized as a “how-to” guide to help other ordinary people start organizing for political power in their own communities. our current political system is broken. it does not represent, much less work for, most of us. meanwhile, places like meadville, pennsylvania are left behind by our wall street-led global economy. if we want a better future, we are going to have to build solidarity in our communities so we can fight for, and win, the future we need. that’s what bending hell is all about. bending hell was made to inspire others to start organizing in their communities. if you’d like to schedule a screening/discussion or have ideas for using the film as an organizing tool.
