About the event

Something for the People
Human Rights Institute Storytelling for Social Change Film Screening

About this Event

As part of our Storytelling for Social Change Series, HRI will screen Something for the People (2025), a film about go-go music in Washington, D.C. and how the official sound of the city has been a catalyst for protests and social movements. Following the film, there will be a talkback with Director and Co-Director . A short reception will follow.


When a D.C. landmark is silenced after a noise complaint, the community fights back with music—blasting Go-Go in protest and sparking a movement known as Moechella. What begins as a grassroots rally becomes a powerful force for cultural pride and resistance, pulsing through the city during the 2020 protests and beyond.

But as the movement grows, so does the backlash. After a tragic shooting near a Moechella event, organizers are blamed by officials and threatened legally by corporate interests. Still, they persist—keeping Go-Go alive in a city trying to silence it. Something for the People is the story of sound as survival, and music as a tool for justice in the heart of the nation’s capital.
