Rebellion Becomes Duty

"With a renewed sense of exigency, a lifelong activist begins her duty as an organizer; helping craft a uniquely dispersed protest, proving that the fight for freedom is a lifelong commitment."

This documentary tells the story of Tallis, a lifelong advocate for justice and fairness whose childhood experiences protesting the Vietnam War instilled in her a deep commitment to democracy. Feeling a renewed sense of exigency as 2025 began, Tallis transitioned from participant to organizer, starting with a simple Reddit post that snowballed into her helping establish 50501 Rochester, NY. This local group mobilized rapidly to address the exhaustion of other activists and push for greater visibility in their fight against authoritarianism.
