Through the Lens: Wrenched

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio

Published February 26, 2014 at 1:10 PM MST

In 1975, author Edward Abbey published "The Monkey Wrench Gang." The novel – along with Abbey's anarchist environmentalism – helped create a blueprint for direct action and civil disobedience in the 70s, 80s and even today. A new documentary called WRENCHED looks at the influence of Abbey on groups like EarthFirst! and more recently the Occupy Movement.

On Monday, March 3^rd director ML Lincoln and others will join us on RadioWest. LINK

We'll screen WRENCHED on Thursday, March 6^th at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. It begins at 7:00 p.m., but you should arrive early to get a seat. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Presented as part of our Through the Lens series in partnership with Utah Film Center
