Sunday, March 26th 2017, from 8-10pm, at the Comm Room (3110 West Leigh Street, Richmond VA), there will be a screening of the premiere episode of subMedia.tv's new series, "Trouble," followed by a discussion. From the event description:

"Submedia, an anarchist media project, intends Trouble to be a platform to "...be watched in groups, and which we hope will foster productive discussions among comrades, or prospective comrades, in the years to come." So, to that end, we would like to have a public screening and discussion with friends, new and old, after we watch the first episode entitled, "Killing the Black Snake: Behind the Scenes of the #NoDAPL struggle”. We hope to do this for every episode as it comes out, so stay tuned!"
