Film(s) To Be Screened
Just Love Stories: Queens Rule Together
This short film explores what love and community look like through the vehicle of cycling and how one woman went from quarantine to QRT, Queens Rule Together, a Philly based global cycling community whose mission is to promote a healthy fun lifestyle while being fully committed to bringing diversity to the sport of cycling.
The Deminers
The Zimbabwean Deminers Shame, Cosimas and medic Previous have been traveling to the other side of the world for years to clear mines from the earth on the British Falkland Islands. In the subpolar cold, among sand dunes and penguins, they defuse and blow up the legacies of a forgotten war. Their dangerous craft enables their families in Africa to live well. But what price do they pay for toiling most of their lives in the world's most dangerous regions?
Where Is America The Beautiful?
Part documentary and part cinematic art, this beautiful film searches for America through real story, music and spoken word.
Detangling the South
Our Detangled team went on the road for our latest series supporting Citizen SHE United's effort to mobilize Black Women in the South entitled: Road To 300K: Detangling The South! From Leah Chase's kitchen in New Orleans to 16th Street Baptist Church, Ballard House and Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham, Alabama; Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma concluded our journey on election day in Miami.
American Justice on Trial
In one of the “trials of the century” that still reverberates today, Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton faced the death penalty for killing a white policeman in a late-night car stop in 1967 Oakland. While Newton and his maverick attorneys boldly indicted racism in the courts and the country, and a groundbreaking jury led by a historic Black foreman deliberated Newton’s fate, the streets of Oakland and the nation were set to explode if the jury, as expected, returned a verdict of murder.
