Every Saturday afternoon, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth discussion of films new and old, led by Village member Mel Washburn. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after!
This week’s film is Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America (2021). Interweaving lecture, personal anecdotes, interviews, and shocking revelations, lawyer Jeffery Robinson draws a stark timeline of anti-Black racism in the United States, from slavery to the modern myth of a post-racial America. If you choose to watch the movie before the discussion, it is available to rent or buy on Vudu, Amazon, and AppleTV; free on Netflix with subscription. Watch the trailer below:
