Join us for a community preview screening of the upcoming feature-length documentary The Experiment, an in-depth look at Portland’s historic year of transition in 2024.
As the warning lights flash for American democracy, the people of Portland embarked on an ambitious experiment in self-governance—a total overhaul of their city government and mode of elections. Can this iconoclastic American city blaze a trail toward a hopeful democratic future?
Portland-based filmmakers Nathan Williams and Mia Bruno will be in attendance, along with several Portland city councilors and other prominent candidates featured in the film.
