About
Citizen George presents the life and work of Philadelphia-based Quaker activist George Lakey, a non-violent revolutionary who has worked his entire life for justice and peace, guided by his ideal of societal transformation. Citizen George moves back and forth in time, highlighting specific events of George's activist life - including fighting for civil rights, anti-Vietnam War activism, LGBTQ rights, human rights in Sri Lanka and climate justice. In addition to detailing his life as an activist, Citizen George tells George's personal journey as a husband, father and out gay man. Animated sequences, inspired by graphic novels, illustrate scenes from George's life. Since the age of 19, George has been conscious of his life's purpose - to use whatever gifts he has to work for justice and peace. Today, at 86 years of age, George's message of a nonviolent revolution is more urgent than ever.
