"The Co-op Wars" Film Screening at the KCK Public Library

  • United States 625 Minnesota Avenue Kansas City, KS, 66101 United States (map)

Join us for a film screening of The Co-op Wars, a documentary exploring the political and economic organizing efforts of a passionate group of people building an alternative food economy in Minneapolis in the 1970s — the same moment our own co-op was forming.

Thursday, September 19

  • 5:30 — Doors; refreshments

  • 5:45 — Opening remarks from co-op board and staff

  • 6:00 — Screening begins

  • 7:00 — Event concludes

As The Merc Co+op celebrates our 50th anniversary, we invite you to reflect on our collective and cooperative history. Examine the often conflicting viewpoints within social movements and counter-culture, and the challenges faced even between folks that are motivated by the same ends.

See a preview of the film.
