A portion of every ticket sold benefits Seattle's REAL CHANGE.
In Bong Joon Ho’s exhilarating contemporary classic, a threadbare family of four struggling to make ends meet gradually hatches a scheme to work for, and as a result infiltrate, the wealthy household of an entrepreneur, his seemingly frivolous wife, and their troubled kids. How they go about doing this—and how their best-laid plans spiral out to destruction and madness—constitutes one of the wildest, scariest, and most unexpectedly affecting movies of recent years, a portrayal of contemporary class resentment that deservedly won the Cannes Palme d’Or and the Oscar. As with all of this South Korean filmmaker’s best works, PARASITE is both rollicking and ruminative in its depiction of the extremes to which human beings push themselves in a world of unending, unbridgeable economic inequality.
REAL CHANGE is a Seattle-based nonprofit that exists to provide opportunity and a voice to people experiencing homelessness while taking action for economic, racial and social justice.
REAL CHANGE serves its community through a Vendor Program that provides low-barrier, immediate work to hundreds of low-income individuals; a weekly, independent newspaper that holds the powerful to account; and anti-capitalist advocacy that centers the voices of those most impacted.
