Finley and filmmaker Lynne Sachs. The film tells of a back-to-the-land community on California's San Juan Ridge, founded in the late 1960s as an alternative to American consumer culture, which organized against clear-cutting, river damming, and open-pit gold mining. It tells this story through an 83-foot tapestry created over seventeen years by Marsha Stone and a collective of artists and community members, weaving in archival footage of poet Gary Snyder and reflections from Nisenan spokesperson Shelly Covert. Afterward, the two filmmakers discuss collaborative storytelling, art and environmental activism, and collective memory in the face of ecological change.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/a-radical-thread-57168/", "official_url": "https://uniondocs.org/event/a-radical-thread-2026-11-05/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/1f1334d0b6b4ddc016b9b2e1d13371190520e9ee84632cd22a7b59f10d99b8a1-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-05T19:30:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-05T19:30:00-05:00", "place": "UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art", "address": "Onderdonk Avenue 352, 11385 Ridgewood", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "With an Acre — An Afternoon with the CCA", "start": "2026-11-07T15:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "e-flux", "address": "172 Classon Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205, USA", "price": "General $12, Student $10", "price_from": "12.00", "price_to": "12.00", "tickets_url": "https://www.eventbrite.com/e/with-an-acre-an-afternoon-with-the-cca-tickets-2003930941390?aff=oddtdtcreator", "category": "film", "tags": ["art/architecture", "film/documentary"], "description": "An afternoon of film and conversation hosted by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, returning to the e-flux Screening Room.
