The Democratic Party committees in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro are hosting a free screening of the documentary film “Lightworkers” at Visulite Cinema in Downtown Staunton on Saturday, July 18, at 10:30 a.m.

“Lightworkers,” directed by veteran filmmaker Bobby Roth, is an examination of American democracy through the eyes of 37 community activists and do-gooders.

Among those featured in the documentary are actors Henry Winkler and Peter Coyote, musician and activist Tom Morello, former congressman Adam Kinzinger, artist and activist Shepard Fairey, and Congressman Jamie Raskin.

The free showing of “Lightworkers” is part of the “Good Trouble Lives On: Weekend of Action” (July 17-19) in memory of the late Congressman John Lewis, who passed away on July 17, 2020.

There will be a discussion following the screening.
