Join or Die
by Byron Jackson
The non-profit agency, Possibilities, Inc., and the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber recently partnered to show the documentary film, Join or Die at the Yale Event Center. Join or Die, one of Dead Center Film Festival’s 2023 featured documentaries, is a film about why you should join a club and why the fate of America may depend on it. The documentary follows the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist, Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis.
The film highlights a handful of long-standing, credible, community organizations, one of which is Rotary. The documentary shared the story of how Rotary started with the vision of one man, Paul Harris, the Chicago attorney who formed the club in 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. The message of this film may strongly resonate with Rotarians and specifically those in OKC’s Club 29 where through our involvement as members, we have experienced the benefits of deepening community involvement, personal and professional connections, and opportunities for collaboration.
