Award-Winning Documentary to be Shown at the Ali Center

Meeting Resistance – A Film by Steve Connors and Molly Bingham

As part of our mission to promote respect, hope and understanding, the Muhammad Ali Center is hosting two screenings of the film Meeting Resistance plus a question and answer session with the directors.  Complimentary tea and lemonade to be provided by Jarfi’s Bistro. 

Film Synopsis: Meeting Resistance raises the veil of anonymity surrounding the Iraqi insurgency by meeting face to face with individuals who are passionately engaged in the struggle, and documenting for the very first time, the sentiments experienced and actions taken by a nation's citizens when their homeland is occupied. Featuring reflective, yet fervent conversations with active insurgents, Meeting Resistance is said to be the missing puzzle piece in understanding the Iraq war.  Through its unprecedented access to these clandestine groups, Meeting Resistance focuses the spotlight on the “other side,” clarifying why the violence in Iraq continues to this day and providing a deeper understanding of both the toll of occupation and the human condition of resistance.
