“The next time you see two women running out the Gap
with arms full of clothes still strapped to the rack,
once they jump in the car, hit the gas and scat
if you have to say something, just stand and clap.”
– The Coup
Spend Black Friday with us at the Indy Liberation Center as we watch and discuss Boots Riley’s latest film. “I love boosters” is an homage to women who re-appropriate clothing goods from the hands of private ownership and redistribute them to the people.
Riley’s movie follows a group of high fashion boosters on a path to building “fashion-forward philanthropy”. Along the way they reveal the exploitation of workers at all levels of the capitalist process-from production and transportation to distribution and consumption-and work to build a unity that can break those chains.
After, we will extend Riley’s critique of capitalism through a collective discussion of the film’s explicit and implicit themes.
This film is open to all! Concessions will be available to purchase and the Indy Liberation Store will be open before, during, and after the screening.
