While the Waco Independent Film Festival hosts multiple events each year for film enthusiasts, they wanted to work with KWBU to create a space where the community of Waco could gather for the simple pleasure of enjoying a film. After the movie, everyone, no matter the background, could join in the conversation.
The first-ever “Waco Block Party” is coming downtown this weekend for three days full of music, movies, podcasts and crafts. It will be free and family-friendly, taking place all day Thursday through Saturday at 500 Washington Ave.
“Join or Die” centers on the decline of community and lack of in-person relationships in America, and it focuses on the work of Dr. Bob Putnam and his book titled “Bowling Alone.” After the viewing, there will be a discussion session with the director’s siblings, Pete and Rebecca Davis, and the head of Creative Waco, Fiona Bond.
