A documentary about how African American communities have used the cameras as a tool for social change from the invention of photography to the present. This epic tale poetically moves between the present and the past, through contemporary photographers and artists whose images and stories seek to reconcile legacies of pride and shame while giving voice to images long suppressed, forgotten and hidden from sight.
Screening followed by reception with Director Thomas Allen Harris.
