Join us for a screening of Ferguson: A Report from Occupied Territory, to be followed by a Q& A with the filmmakers Orlando de Guzman (Director/Producer) and Katina Parker (Co-Producer). Moderated by Mark Anthony Neal, professor of Black Popular Culture in the Department of African and African-American Studies at Duke University.  

Featuring commentary from Brendan Roediger, Ashley Yates, Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, Thomas Harvey, and Derek Laney, this insightful documentary traces the connection between St. Louis County’s ruthless form of racially targeted policing-for-profit, and its roots in racist housing policies and practices, segregation and slavery. The film contextualizes Mike Brown’s murder by highlighting the systemically racist municipal courts and the dystopian police state the system requires to thrive financially and continue to exist. The film also looks at how anti-Black racism inFerguson and the surrounding municipalities has become fertile ground for a new wave of activism that has spread nationwide.  

This event is free. Seating is limited Please arrive early. There will be refreshments prior to the screening.
