The Anarchist Lunch (2024)

Overview

Once a week, for the past 35 years, a group of ardent leftists has congregated in the same Chinese restaurant in Vancouver to discuss the important topics of the moment. Among these political conversationalists is the father of filmmaker Rachel Epstein, who now documents the group as they engage with issues inside and out of their familiar eatery. With most members now aged 70 years and older, they represent a contingent of activists who for decades have supported anti-war and anti-nuclear movements and advocated for climate justice, union organizing, Palestinian liberation, and a host of other important issues.
