Cabaret Film Showing & Discussion

Cabaret (1972), winner of 8 Academy awards, is set in the Kit Kat Club in Berlin in the early 1930s, while outside there is the increasingly ominous rise of the Nazi party. Cabaret powerfully and artistically captures a Germany where far too many denied and ignored the rising danger.

“Cabaret's original Emcee, Joel Grey stated that audiences should ‘heed’ the ‘warning’ of the musical after the recent re-election of Donald Trump. http://www.broadwayworld.com.

Revolution Books is showing “Cabaret” now, when Trump is racing to consolidate fascist control of the US government and society, to sound a warning and contribute to the rising wave of resistance.
