Fighting for Respect : African American Soldiers in WWI
Directed by Joanne Burke (USA, 2022, 54 min.)
A landmark documentary that captures the plight of African American soldiers who fought in World War I, receiving the military decoration of the Croix de Guerre from France while still fighting discrimination and hatred at home in America.
Strike for Freedom
Directed by Parisa Urquhart (Scotland, 2020, 15 min.)
Frederick Douglass, a world-renowned author, orator, and activist, had a major impact on Scotland. His lifelong mission was to “tell the story of the slave” and when he fled to the UK after exposing his slaveholder’s name and deeds, he fell in love with Scotland—and the Scots fell in love with him. At the time the Scots saw Douglass as an icon of the freedom struggle; it’s only now that Scotland finally acknowledges this.
When I Get Grown—Reflections of a Freedom Rider
Directed by Chris Preitauer (USA, 2022, 31 min.)
Trauma experienced by a seven-year-old sets him on a course to become a civil rights legend and change the course of a nation.
With a pre-recorded Q&A.
