Tonight my mom and I went to a screening of a documentary film about an Ashland character, Dot. It was a (somewhat unexpectedly to me) inspiring, funny, moving movie about a woman who has devoted her life to activism and peace. It was particularly great to view the movie in the company of so many local radicals, artists, and families. I hope I am blessed enough to live a long life filled with the fight for justice, surrounded by such an amazing community.
