Topher Field

On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, the Charlotte Supper Club is pleased to welcome Topher Field, award-winning Australian filmmaker, bestselling author of Good People Break Bad Laws, and one of Australia’s leading libertarian commentators and human rights advocates, known for his courageous stand against government overreach and his powerful message on civil disobedience and the limits of obedience.

About the Talk

Good People Break Bad Laws

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, bureaucratic overreach, surveillance culture, and expanding government power threaten the foundations of liberty. Award-winning filmmaker and author Topher Field delivers his powerful keynote, specially adapted for U.S. audiences and part of his American tour, drawing on pivotal historical figures and events from the founding era as well as lessons from his own experiences on the front lines of government overreach in Melbourne, Australia.

Topher issues a stark and timely warning: There’s too much 1984, and not enough 1776. He explores the vital importance of civil disobedience in keeping the Spirit of 1776 alive, arguing that the only thing that truly limits the power of government is the people reaching the limits of their obedience. If we believe in limited government, we must believe in—and practice—limited obedience, or risk losing it entirely.

With moral clarity, historical insight, and compelling storytelling, Topher challenges attendees to reclaim courage, question blind compliance, and actively defend the principles of freedom. He asks the critical question facing America today: Will the United States make it to its 500th birthday still free, or has it already gone too far wrong?

Come early and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors. Celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The venue is lovely, the seasonal menu is delicious, and the discussion brilliant.
