SUMMARY:When We Fight We Win: Activists Making Change
DESCRIPTION:Creatively Speaking Films presents its annual virtual film festival on Wednesday\, October 30 from 6-8pm ET. Enjoy an evening of short films on the theme of “Community Activists Making Change.” We will look at everyday activists who created change in their communities; some literally starting at their kitchen tables. The film program is curated by Savanna Washington and Myrakel Baker. \nFilm Program: \nBlack Lives Matter: How a Hashtag Defined a Movement \nProducer/Editor: Sabrina Schmidt Gordon \nTRT: 8 mins. \nThe origin story of #BlackLivesMatter told by its founders Alicia Garza\, Opal Tometi\, and Patrisse Cullors. \nUnion \nProducers: Samantha Curley\, Mars Verrone \nDirectors: Stephen Maing\, Brett Story \nTRT: 16 minute excerpt of film \nUp against one of the most powerful companies on the planet\, a group of Amazon workers embark on an unprecedented campaign to unionize their warehouse in Staten Island\, New York. \nBlueprint For My People \nProducer\, Director\, Editor: Carol Bash \nTRT: 10 mins. \nBlueprint For My People is a visual poem that explores the African American experience by featuring rare archival blue photographs called cyanotypes \nShame of Chicago\, Shame of the Nation: Eps 1 – The Color Tax \nProducer\, Director: Bruce Orenstein \nProducer: Chris L. Jenkins \nTRT: 37 mins. \nShame of Chicago is a four-part documentary series that lays bare the story of how Chicago devised the nation’s most sweeping system of racially segregated housing-and how it diminished the lives of generations of Black families\, creating the vast racial wealth gap that persists to this day. Centering Black voices and experiences\, the series also brings to life the resistance Black Chicagoans mounted throughout the 20th century in the face of systemic and often violent discrimination in the private sector and at nearly every level of government. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n  \n\nPresented by Creatively Speaking Films at the Institute.
