DORR Film Club - Reds
2026-01-29 17:00 - 18:00 | The United Methodist Church, 110 Indian Cliffs Rd, Sedona, AZ, 86351, United States
Greetings film fans, how about a conversation about Reds (1981) available to rent on Amazon and on Apple TV.
on Thursday Jan 29, 2026, at 5:00 in person at The New Room of the Sedona United Methodist Church, 110 Indian Cliffs Rd, just off 179 and Back O’Beyond roundabout (Chapel Area).
Greetings film aficionados, we’ve been talking about films and political history, and in January, we continue with a conversation about “Reds,” Warren Beatty’s film about John Reed, the American journalist and author of Ten Days That Shook the World. Described by Vincent Canby in The New York Times as “an extraordinary film, a big romantic adventure movie, “Reds” tells the story of Reed’s left-wing politics in the 1920s, his chronicling of the Russian Revolution, and his romance with writer Louise Bryant, played with “splendor” by the iconic Diane Keaton, who died in 2025.
We’re excited that Sue Gould has agreed to join us to share stories of life with her father, Louis Weinstock. Sue writes, “My dad’s political activity in the ’30’s and ’40’s got him arrested, indicted, tried, found guilty, sentenced to 3 years in federal prison in the early ’50’s under the now defunct Smith Act, which made it illegal to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the U.S government. He never did anything of the sort but served his sentence anyway. As both a Communist and painters’ union leader, he led hunger marches to Washington, fought for the creation of Unemployment Insurance and Social Security (which union leadership fought against!), appeared before Congress to make his case, and never gave up his beliefs or his activism. It will be my pleasure to discuss his life and this particular era of America’s working class struggles. “Reds” isn’t about that period, and preceded my father’s role in these struggles, but the Russian Revolution was an inspiration that drove him all his life.”
Watch the film (on your own) and join us to for a timely conversation on Thursday, January 29 at 5:00 in the New Room of the Sedona United Methodist Church 110 Indian Cliffs Rd. in the Chapel area, just off the St. Route 179 and Back O Beyond roundabout. Feel free to bring finger foods and non-alcoholic beverages.
DORR’s political film club is hosted by DORR members Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Frankie Riemer (Professor).

Adrian Fontes has served as the Arizona Secretary of State since January 2022 . One of his primary duties is the oversight and administration of secure and accurate elections. In that role he has seen increasing efforts to gut early voting. The safety, security and convenience of mail-in voting is something a vast majority of Arizonans can agree upon. Mail in ballots are used by nearly 80% of Arizona Voters.

“The beauty of American democracy is that it levels the playing field. Every eligible voter is given one vote that holds the same weight as everyone else”

DORR Educational Breakfast - Know Your Rights
2026-02-20 09:30 - 11:00 | Sedona Community Center, 2615 Melody Lane, Sedona, AZ, 86336, United States
Join DORR for an in-person Know Your Rights presentation by Harrison Redmond, of the ACLU of Arizona. This program will focus on immigrants’ rights and what US citizens can do if they witness rights being violated. Ensuring we understand our protections, regardless of citizenship status, empowers us to better support our neighbors and community.
The Federal government’s cruel policy of mass deportation and it’s lawless violations of rights in blue states has led to horrific instances of killings, abuse, unlawful detention, and deportation.
This non-partisan program is for all who believe that this is not ok!

Outside of political advocacy, Harrison loves to travel, get tattooed, read, play guitar, and spend time with his cat, Ruth.
