One Million Experiments: The Film

What does safety in a world without police and prisons look like? What does it make more possible? This experimental documentary film is a companion to the podcast, remixing ten episodes of conversations and interweaving their takeaways with original, archival, and gathered footage that makes room for radical possibilities and invites viewers into participation.
