IRL Movie Club: JOIN OR DIE

The In Real Life Movie Club is a brand-new, in-person movie club designed for people who love gathering together, connecting with our local community, and explore trending topics through independent films.

By joining the club you’re saying yes to supporting local arthouse theaters building community around film, creating more vibrant conversations about our society, and helping to fund the work of independent film creators.


MOVIE CLUB HOST

This week’s IRL Movie Club will be hosted by our General Manager, Nick Cruz! Nick will kick things off with a special pre-screening introduction and lead a discussion after the film. This is your chance to share your thoughts, insights, and engage with fellow moviegoers in the community. Come ready to dive deep into the film and its themes with us!


ABOUT THE FILM

JOIN OR DIE is a film about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America may depend on it. Follow the story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose viral “Bowling Alone” research into the decline in American community lights a path out of our democracy’s present crisis.

Flanked by influential fans and scholars—from Hillary Clinton and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr. and Pete Buttigieg—as well as inspiring groups building community across America, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is our democracy in crisis? And, most importantly: What can we do about it?

 If you haven’t joined the club, visit irlmovieclub.org to join and hear about future events.
