‘The Berrigans: Devout and Dangerous’ Film Screening and Panel Discussion

The Berrigans/l Devout and Dangerous tells the story of the Berrigan brothers, Catholic priests Philip and Daniel, and Philip’s wife, former nun Liz McAlister, who spent their entire lives engaged in faith-based, nonviolent resistance to war, racism, and nuclear proliferation. Named America’s “most wanted” fugitives by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, they were the “influencers” of the day, spreading the gospel of nonviolence in pulpits worldwide and appearing on talk shows, in rock lyrics, and on magazine covers.

A panel discussion will follow the screening of the film, featuring:

• Richard Dresser, producer and writer
• Susan Hagedorn, director and executive producer
• Martha Hennessy, peace activist and granddaughter of Dorothy Day
• Jim Reale, producer
• Angela Alaimo O’Donnell, associate director, Curran Center, Fordham University

Free and open to the public. Seating is limited and registration is required (first-come, first-served basis).
