Act Out! [89] - This Is How You Battle “Idiocracy: The Documentary”

Act Out! [89] - This Is How You Battle “Idiocracy: The Documentary”
Wed, 11/23/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield

In a special episode this week, let's talk education – the power of which is so strong that governments will, and do, withhold it from their own people as a twisted but efficient form of oppression. As our access to publicly funded, quality education continues to falter, we take a look at a group of people barred from knowledge – and thousands of miles away, a creative response in solidarity to raise awareness and educate. Finally, from the front lines, yet another reminder and source of inspiration to get informed, get engaged and rise up.
