FILM + CONVERSATION EVENT
This screening includes a conversation with Stephen Charbonneau moderated by Dr Terri Francis.
Camille Billops and James Hatch trace the ways in which Americans have tried to ignore, deny, suppress, contain, tolerate, legislate, mock, and exploit racial discrimination within the United States. Like a modern-day Virgil and Dante, they drive, cajole, and lead their cast through a tour of the contemporary landscape of racism.
