Storming Caesars Palace free film screening

Indie Lens Pop-Up! “Storming Caesars Palace” tells the story of Ruby Duncan, a boisterous protestor who became a strategic organizer and then a White House advisor. She led a grassroots movement that fought for a basic income guarantee for families, she organized a massive protest that shut down Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and worked to defy notions of the “welfare queen.”

Through interviews with Duncan, her family, and key players in the movement such as Gloria Steinem, filmmaker Hazel Gurland-Pooler tells the story of the fight for justice, dignity, an adequate income, and democratic participation for low-income mothers. Based on the book by Annelise Orleck. This is an advance screening of the documentary, which will air March 20 on PBS. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by KUNM-FM News Director Megan Kamerick.
