Sonia Sanchez, the Directors, & Special Guests in Attendance for Evening Show!
 
"Sonia Sanchez is a lion in literature's forest. When she writes, she roars." So said Maya Angelou about her friend and fellow poet. The prodigious Sanchez has been on the front lines of art and activism for 60 years--teaching, writing, performing, protesting. She was a pioneer of the Black Arts Movement, fought to establish the first university Black Studies programs in the country, and has exerted a widely acknowledged influence on the Hip-Hop and spoken word movements. This performance-packed film features appearances by Questlove, Talib Kweli, Nikki Giovanni, Amiri Baraka, Ursula Rucker, Ruby Dee, Haki Madhubuti, Imani Uzuri, Bryonn Bain, Jessica Care Moore, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and more.

Director Stanley Nelson in Attendance for Nov 15, 11:45 AM Show!
Against a backdrop of civil unrest and the radical transformation of American society in the mid-1960s, the black nationalist organization known as the Black Panthers emerged as leaders of the expected revolution. Interweaving fascinating archival material with gripping first-hand accounts from members of the group's rank and file, director Stanley Nelson's definitive history reveals the promise of social change offered by the organization, and the insidious efforts of the establishment to suppress its fruition.

While the perception of AIDS in America has changed from the death sentence it once was to a disease managed by medicine, in the deep South, HIV continues to claim the lives of rural black women in epidemic numbers. Despite facing institutional and personal obstacles every step of the way, 62-year-old Wilhemina Dixon works tirelessly to combat the stigma and care for her daughter and granddaughter, both HIV+.
Farihah Zaman (Remote Area Medical), Hao Wu (The Road to Fame) Yoruba Richen (The New Black) and Taj Paxton (Logo/Viacom) share the paths they followed from breaking in to making a career. Moderator: Luis Castro (Acting Commissioner, The City of New York Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment)

fiction feature directorial debut!
"Growing up I loved, loved teen movies and I always had a fantasy that I would make one. I wanted to create a film featuring young black girls who were smart and raunchy. Black girls who were focused on where to go to college but still drank too much at parties. Black girls who had crushes on guy who didn't know they existed. Black girls who had some family struggles but who didn't let their struggles define them. In other words, Black girls like many of my friends!"
