STREEP You can't make a film looking ahead to how it will be read in the future. You just make your own little story about your own particular people. But I do think that five years, 10 years, 20 years from now, you could look at this film and see it authentically as where...
...plates on the floor--there was a whole new world of militant reduction in art, of fiercely simplified forms, preferably in factory-milled materials. Meanwhile he also discovered the virtuoso cabinet maker James Krenov, who was asking how the individual qualities of each piece of wood could give a particular voice to whatever he made. With those models, Puryear had in place the elements of his lifelong working practice.

Whereas the first rally demonstrated the hollowness of the representative ideal, the second embodied the kind of conception of democracy we urgently need. The contrast between campaign politics and grassroots organizing is particularly instructive in highlighting the follies of working within the system in order to change society. The conventional defense of this tactic rests upon its pragmatism: Based on the idea that positions of power enable the powerful to affect policy in substantive, lasting ways, the argument is that good people can rule...
