In 1978, Howard Jarvis’ ballot initiative, Proposition 13, changed everything. Join director Jason Cohn for a screening of The First Angry Man, a deep dive into the enduring consequences of Prop 13 and an exploration of how public ambitions in postwar America collapsed into Reagan-era parsimony and the permanent tax revolt. Featuring archival footage and interviews with infamous figures, The First Angry Man invites viewers to see this political era as an anomaly in American History, at odds with some of our nation’s deepest underpinnings.
