Runtime: 1 hour 27 minutes 8 seconds
Four documentaries look at people confronting history while imagining different futures.
The program moves from the legacy of an African warrior queen to Black American repatriation in The Gambia, Black femme joy and self-recognition, and the extraordinary life and work of Salvation Mountain creator Leonard Knight.
Together, the films ask how history is remembered, how identity is reclaimed, and how people build new worlds when the inherited one is not enough.
