The Elements of Mutual Aid is an independently produced documentary series profiling over a dozen mutual aid-based projects across North America.This series gathers the voices of community organizers who are tending grassroots alternatives to systems of oppression. In intimate interviews, we discuss the nuanced work of building trust between neighbors, making decisions horizontally, protecting our communities, sharing the responsibility of communal infrastructure, and more.  For this event, we will be screening Chapter 3: Water with a runtime of 62 minutes.
