Cooked Screening Fundraiser

Get your popcorn, grab your friends and family, and join Soulardarity in raising money for the fight for energy justice WHILE taking in an incredible documentary.

In the summer of 1995, Chicago experienced an unthinkable disaster, when extremely high humidity and a layer of heat-retaining pollution drove the heat index up to more than 126 degrees. Cooked: Survival by Zip Code tells the story of this tragic heatwave, the most traumatic in U.S. history, in which 739 citizens died over the course of just a single week, most of them poor, elderly, and African American. When peeled away from the shocking headlines the story reveals the less newsworthy but long-term crisis of pernicious poverty, economic, and social isolation and racism. Cooked is a story about life, death, and the politics of crisis in an American city that asks the question: Was this a one-time tragedy, or an appalling trend?

Grab your tickets early, and invite as MANY people as you can to fill the seats to support Soulardarity and the important work we do! 

Held at The Planet Ant Theater at 2320 Caniff Ave, Hamtramck, MI 48212 from 1PM - 4PM on Saturday, June 27th. We would love to see AS MANY of you & your friends as possible. Even if you're not able to make the screening, you can still sponsor tickets. Thank you for supporting Soulardarity!
