in Charleston, South Carolina. Filmed over 3 months

focus against the backdrop of racist violence in the
city, from the killing of Walter Scott by a police officer
to the Mother Emanuel Church massacre by a young
white supremacist. The screening will be followed by
a Q&A session moderated by Carina Ray, Professo
of History and interim Director of the African Studies
center. Meet-and-greet to follow in the State Theatre Lobby.
