FILM SCREENING: The Platform

Join us at the Paul and Eslanda Robeson Cinema at The People’s Forum, created in the spirit of their love of art, film, and revolution.
About this Event

In a brutal vertical Pr*son, inmates are assigned to different levels while a platform laden with food descends from the top. Those above feast, while those below survive on whatever remains. As Goreng moves through the Pr*son’s hierarchy, he confronts a system built on scarcity, inequality, and competition—and the question of whether solidarity can emerge within it. A dark social allegory, The Platform examines class hierarchy, consumption, and the struggle between individual survival and collective responsibility
