Warriors: The Bike Race. (2002)
In August of 2002, over 800 bicycle riders descended upon New York City in the form of 89 gangs. Their goal: to live out the epic gang warfare movie known as THE WARRIORS. During the all night race from the Bronx to Coney Island, riders got lost, blood was shed, police outwitted, and countless brain cells destroyed. Most of what took place that night was thankfully never to be discussed again until WARRIORS: THE BIKE RACE.

Still We Ride (2005)
On Friday August 27, 2004 just days before the start of the Republican National Convention, a massive police operation was underway. By the end of the night 264 people were arrested. It marked one of the largest mass arrests in New York City's history - and the arrested had done nothing illegal.

For many New Yorkers, this was the first time they heard of what has become a monthly ritual for New York City's bike community; a free-forming ride called Critical Mass.

Still We Ride is a documentary that captures the joyous atmosphere of
this August ride before the arrests began and the chaos that followed. It recounts how this ride first started in San Francisco over 10 years ago and chronicles the police crackdown and resulting court battles in New York over the last 12 months. The movie takes on issues of civil liberties, surveillance, the power of mainstream media, and the benefits of alternative means of transportation.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave (2004)
Documentary filmmaker Robert Kane Pappas presents a riveting argument for his theory that the U.S. is under an Orwellian watch with the rise to power of the radical, right-wing Republican party, an ascent aided, unwittingly or not, by the mainstream media. Here, Pappas interviews an impressive roster, including Center for Public Integrity director Charles Lewis, legal analyst Vincent Bugliosi and liberal filmmaker Michael Moore.

Go Further (2004)
This unorthodox documentary from filmmaker Ron Mann examines the notion that each person has the ability to achieve monumental, far-reaching change by altering the most trivial aspects of his/her own lives. Join actor Woody Harrelson and a varied cast of characters for a bus ride down California's Pacific Coast Highway to promote social change on a global level by opting to modify our current customary, often environmentally damaging actions.

Due to the high volume of events Time's Up has been holding, we have decided not to show a movie every Thursday night. But we still have a schedule. We don't want people thinking that we have abandoned a local, free event.
