Runtime: 1 hour 17 minutes 8 seconds
Four documentaries look at how history and identity become lived experience.
The program moves from the legacy of an African queen and Black American repatriation to Black femme joy and street art emerging from the Black Lives Matter movement in New York.
Together, these films examine who gets remembered, how communities define themselves and the many ways people create space for resistance, joy, belonging and reinvention.
