The NYC Anarchist Film Festival in Honor of Brad Will, takes place in conjunction with the NYC Anarchist Bookfair.

The NYC Anarchist Film Festival was started 4 years ago, in honor of our friend Brad Will, who was an anarchist, independent journalist and activist, a beloved community member and much more to so many... Brad was murdered by a police sniper in Oaxaca, Mexico on October 27, 2006, while filming a popular uprising. Brad's final act was not to die but to document a revolution that will never die. That is the spirit... of undying love and insurrection that we celebrate in the global struggle for dignity and liberation... This film festival represents as Brad did, courage in the face of terror.
