Lens On Life: A FREE Monthly Film Screening by CD13!

THEY LIVE \(1988\) - Wednesday, October 21, 2026

We will be taking a short break in September, but will return with another amazing screening on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.

We'll be teaming up with DSA-LA’s Political Education Committee to present a screening of John Carpenter’s 1988 horror/sci-fi cult classic, They Live. Although it has long held the distinction of being the most well known and unabashed anti-capitalist Hollywood film, it has also demonstrated an adaptability to the changing socio-political contexts of American history – finding new audiences for its message in each successive generation since its release.

Stop by for an evening of action, b-picture horror thrills, and political education.

Following the film we will host an interactive discussion to unpack the film’s famous critique of ideology and its prescient depiction of the cruelty experienced by Los Angeles’ unhoused population.

Screening at 7pm

Reception and Doors Open at 6pm
